Arrangement
Series 1 was organized in multiple ways upon receipt, which the archivist revised for easier access and reference. The archivist arranged this series into five subseries: Subseries 1.1, Provost Office internal communications, meeting minutes, and reports; Subseries 1.2, Administrative affairs; Subseries 1.3, Academic affairs; Subseries 1.4, Department and program communications; Subseries 1.5, Building plans and construction documentation. The archivist, whenever possible, organized the materials into these topical subseries. The contents themselves are described at the file level. The archivist conducted high level physical rearrangement to allow the digital materials to be easily integrated into a single system of arrangement. The digital materials, at the highest directory level, were placed into a new folder with a new file name.
