PUBLIC RELATIONS- THE EDDY ADMINISTRATION

DATES

This series contains documents dealing with Jean Moore's responsibilities during the tenure of President Eddy at the University of Rhode Island (1983-1991).  The correspondence and memoranda pertain to Jeanne Moore’s promoting the University and apprising the president on media and public responses.  Records are indicative of her interaction with Eddy on a wide array of topics related to University relations and with public officials.  Documents include drafts of public relations responses, news clippings and press releases, speeches and interviews by President Eddy.  There is also a substantial amount of information on issues of governance in the Eddy administration with respect to public relations.  Of interest in the series are records documenting the controversial search for an athletic director, Eddy's response to the Koch Report, the “Options for Higher Education Governance Report 1994", and information pertaining to the reorganization of URI in 1987.
