The filing system of the Provost's Office is not organized around individual administrations, but rather around the ongoing functions of the office. There is some overlap between the different subseries due to variation between the filing systems among administrations. The Office Files document the main activities and duties of the Provost, including the office's involvement in the work of academic and budget planning and policymaking, and the work of centers, departments, faculty, institutes, programs, and research centers.
