Committee Files, 1971-1983, bulk 1976-1982

Scope and content:

This subseries consists of committee files created during Pye's second tenure as Chancellor, 1976-1982. The files are arranged into two sub-series: files regarding various standing committees and ad hoc committees are followed by files pertaining to planning committees and the University Long-Range Planning Committee. Other committees represented include the Athletic Council, Committee on the Social Implications of Duke's Investment Policies, search committees for a provost and a Vice-Chancellor for Data Processing, and the Undergraduate Faculty Council in the Arts and Sciences (UFCAS) Committee on Financial Aid and Admissions.
