Series VIII. Assorted Materials

Series VIII. Assorted Materials consists of the JCDA's subject files, chronological files, and miscellaneous materials. The series is divided into three sub-series: Subseries 1. Miscellaneous, Subseries 2. Subject Files, and Subseries 3. Chronological files.

Subseries VIII.2. Subject Files

Subseries 2. Subject Files were maintained as a group of informative material on various subjects directly or indirectly relating to the Committee's work. For example, the subject files have a folder of minutes of the University Committee on Rules of Conduct. These are records of another committee, but copies were kept by the JCDA for reference purposes. Of particular significance is the Deane and Connor Paper on Discipline written by Herbert A. Deane, vice provost for academic planning, and James E. Connor, assistant professor of government. The working paper evaluated the disciplinary system created by the University after the 1968 protests. The Students for a Restructured University (SRU) have a response to this paper in the subject files, as well. The 25 Man Rule documents part of the discussion and controversy over the rule. The rule revolved around the number of spectators allowed at tribunal hearings. The 25 Man Rule would allow a maximum of 25 spectators at any given hearing. For more information on the 25 Man Rule see Series I. Governance for minutes relating to the Rule. The folder of the "Temple Committee Reports" documents some of the work done by the Temple Committee, a Special Committee of the Trustees of Columbia University, established by the Trustees on May 1, 1968 in order to "study and recommend changes in the basic structure of the University." The Committee was named after its chairman Alan H. Temple.

Subseries VIII.3. Chronological Files

Subseries 3. Chronological Files appear to have been created by the JCDA administrative assistant who compiled all of the important correspondence and documentation for a given time period and bound it together chronologically for reference use. Therefore, the material in the chronological files is mostly duplicate material found in other areas of the records.
