SERIES I	GENERAL SUBJECT FILE	DATES
5.5' (15 Boxes)		1954-1996

The General Subject File consists of material relating to the Administration and operation of the URI chapter of the AAUP. Included are correspondence, minutes, newsletters, faculty attitude surveys and other records which provide information regarding the activities of the Association. While the records contained in this series are diverse, some may be of special interest. Files relating to the Board of Regents (later to be renamed the Board of Governors) occupy eight file folders and range in years from 1973 through 1981. Files relating to the Association's interest in the Administrative budget occupy an additional ten folders.

Another area of interest to the Association is the status of the university faculty. The question of who is a member of the collective bargaining unit, and who is not, has far-reaching implications for the Association, Administration and faculty. An example of this problem is illustrated in the files relating to the Co-Op Extension. Records from 1973 show the Extension staff's interest in union representation. The ongoing discussion lasted through 1987. The results, including a later arbitration, are found in ten files.

Another subset of this series consists of eight folders containing the minutes of the general membership meetings. These collected minutes span thirty-four years from 1955 through 1989 and portray the thoughts and actions of the membership over three and one half decades. Other components of the General Subject series include folders on the use of part-time faculty, newsletters from the AAUP and university community, by-laws from 1973/74, notes on Agency Shop (1972-1978) and constitution drafts (1954, 1972-1973). The series also contains a folder titled "Pied Piper" which contains copies of an undated newsletter created during the 1980s. This underground newsletter offered the reader a satirical look at the University Administration. The author's acerbic wit spares few in the Administration from the microscope of ridicule.

The records in this series are arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically within each folder.
