The Extension Division, under the\n         direction of George B. Zehmer, established UVa's Northern\n         Virginia University Center in September 1949 with John\n         Norville Gibson Finley (1899-1971) as the Center's first\n         director. The Center's administrative offices and \"campus,\"\n         were located on the campus of Washington - Lee High School in\n         Arlington, Virginia. During the Center's beginning years, it\n         offered college-level courses for adults.","By 1956, sensing the public need for a college in Northern\n         Virginia area for recent high school graduates, the Extension\n         Division proposed and created, with the help of the Virginia\n         State Legislature, a new two-year branch college alongside the\n         Northern Virginia Center. The branch was called the University\n         College. Finley was appointed director of the new college,\n         whose administrative office was also located on the campus of\n         Washington - Lee High School. Finley remained director of both\n         schools through the 1950s.","In 1957, the University of Virginia leased the vacant\n         Bailey's Crossroads Elementary School for the University\n         College's temporary site. The building was renovated and\n         outfitted with laboratory equipment and other additions needed\n         to make it ready for college instruction. Meanwhile, UVa\n         sought a more permanent site for the new college. In 1959 the\n         Town of Fairfax donated the tract of land on which the\n         University resides today. Director Finley saw the first\n         buildings completed in late 1963 and early 1964.","Robert H. Reid (1913-1970) was director of George Mason\n         College from 1964-1966. During his tenure, George Mason\n         College moved from Bailey's Crossroads to the new 150 acre\n         campus just outside of Fairfax City. The Virginia General\n         Assembly passed a bill to expand GMC to a four-year\n         degree-granting institution in 1966. Reid resigned in March,\n         1966 stating that his resignation had been prompted by the\n         failure of the 1966 General Assembly to make George Mason\n         independent of the University of Virginia.","In 1966, Lorin A. Thompson (1902-1999), became the first\n         chancellor of George Mason College, and in 1972, the first\n         president of the newly independent George Mason University.\n         During his seven years, 1966-1973, the student population\n         grew from 840 to more than 4,000; and in 1970 Mason began its\n         first graduate program.","Vergil H. Dykstra (1925-2010), president of George Mason\n         University from 1973 to 1977, described his years at Mason as\n         demanding and difficult, but rewarding. Rapid growth of the\n         University continued as undergraduate and graduate programs were added to the curriculum. He also proposed establishing a law school for the University and expanded academic facilities.","Robert C. Krug (1918-2006) came to George Mason College in\n         1965. Prior to accepting the presidency, after Vergil\n         Dykstra's resignation in April 1977, Dr. Krug held the\n         positions of Dean of the College, Dean of the Faculty and\n         Graduate School, Provost, and Vice President for Academic\n         Affairs. During his presidency from 1977 to 1978, Krug proved\n         to be an effective lobbyist for funds from Richmond. He also\n         obtained the University's first computers.","George W. Johnson (1928- ), inaugurated president in 1979,\n         guided George Mason University from a small liberal arts\n         college into a major university. In his eighteen years as\n         president, George Mason University acquired doctoral status;\n         establish a law school; instituted thirty-four new programs;\n         created new organizational structures; including six academic\n         institutes, and became a distributed university with campuses\n         in Arlington and Prince William counties. Johnson also\n         instituted the Early Identification Program and the Mason\n         Scholars Program.","Alan G. Merten (1941- ) became the fifth president of George Mason University in July of 1996 and he has announced \nhis retirement for June 2012.

He had two younger sisters, Lila Scott Buchanan Graue (1922-2020) and Elizabeth Bradley. His paternal grandfather, John P. Buchanan (1847-1930), was a one-term governor of Tennessee from 1891 to 1893. James M. Buchanan attended Buchanan High School. He triple-majored in English, mathematics, and economics at Middle Tennessee State University from 1936 to 1940. He received a Master's of the Arts in economics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1941. Buchanan then attended the Naval War College and served on the operations staff of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz from 1941 to 1945. In that role, he was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Guam. He met his wife, Ann Bakke (August 21, 1909-November 14, 2005) in 1943. She was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. She served with the Army Air Transport Command at Hickham Field, Oahu. In 1945 the couple married in San Francisco, California.","From 1946 to 1948 Buchanan attended the University of Chicago, where he graduated with a Ph.D. in economics. After graduation, he taught at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville as an associate professor from 1948 to 1951, and then as a full professor at Florida State University, Tallahassee from 1951 to 1956. In 1955 he was awarded a Fulbright fellowship to study in Italy for a year. In 1956 he was hired at the University of Virginia as the chair of the economics department. It was there that he co-founded the Thomas Jefferson Center for Studies in Political Economy in 1958. That same year, he published Public Principles of Public Debt. In 1962, Buchanan and co-author Gordon Tullock published The Calculus of Consent.","Buchanan worked at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for one academic year (1968-1969) as a professor of economics. In 1969 he was hired at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI, now known as Virginia Tech), as a University Distinguished Professor. He became general director of the Center for Study of Public Choice, the successor institution to the Thomas Jefferson Center for Political Economy. Buchanan continued to publish books during his time at VPI, including Cost and Choice (1969), Academia in Anarchy with Nicos Devletoglou (1970), The Limits of Liberty (1975), and The Power to Tax with Geoffrey Brennan (1980).","In 1983, Buchanan and the Center for the Study of Public Choice moved from VPI to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. After the move, he split his time between Fairfax and his farm in Blacksburg, Virginia. In 1986, Buchanan was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in economics. While at Mason, he published The Reason of Rules (1985), Better than Plowing (1992), and Politics by Principle, Not Interest with Roger Congleton (1998). He formally retired from Mason in September 1999 but continued to work both at Mason and Virginia Tech until his death on January 9, 2013.","Buchanan was known for his contribution to the field of public choice, which uses economic principles to analyze the rules and actions of government and public sector. It was this theory which led to his Nobel award.","Born on March 19, 1927, Betty Jane Hall Tillman (also known as Betty Ross from 1977 to 1984) received an associate's degree from The Jefferson School of Commerce at Charlottesville, Virginia in 1945. She worked for Buchanan at the University of Virginia from August 14, 1961 to August 1969, at VPI from September 1, 1969 to June 1983, and at George Mason University from July 1, 1983 until her retirement in April 2007. Tillman had multiple responsibilities including handling Buchanan's correspondence, scheduling his events, coordinating Liberty Fund conferences, organizing activities at the Center for Study of Public Choice, and assisting graduate students and faculty associated with the Center. At the time of her retirement her position was administrative director of the Center for Study of Public Choice. She had three children. Tillman died on October 2, 2013.","Jo Ann Burgess was born on June 27, 1948. She began work at the Center for the Study of Public Choice at George Mason University in 1989. Previously, Burgess lived around the world working for the State Department and the U.S military. She had four children with her husband, Roger. Burgess had many varied responsibilities at the Center including organizing Buchanan's archival papers, and administrative duties for the Public Choice Society. She edited Buchanan's published work in the 1990s and 2000s, including editing The Collected Works of James Buchanan and The Selected Works of Gordon Tullock for the Liberty Fund. After Tillman's retirement, Burgess took on additional responsibilities related to handling Buchanan's correspondence and scheduling, and additional administrative duties at the Center. Burgess retired in the summer of 2014. She died on March 19, 2020.","This collection was processed by Rebecca Thayer as part of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant project from March 2021 to March 2023.","Initial processing of the collection was begun after James M. Buchanan's death in 2013, while the papers were at Buchanan House (also known as Roberts House), where the offices of Buchanan, Betty Tillman, Jo Ann Burgess, and the Center for Study of Public Choice were then located. Processing at this time was done by Greta Suiter, then-Processing Coordinator at the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), and Solomon Stein, then-economics PhD student at Mason. Stein and Suiter established an initial arrangement scheme and began foldering and sorting materials accordingly. Elizabeth Beckman, then-Processing Coordinator, continued arrangement and refoldering work alongside Stein at Buchanan House from 2014 to 2016. 145 linear feet of materials were ultimately arranged during this time. The following series were created: Correspondence, Academic (Subseries: Courses taken and Courses taught), Conferences (Subseries: Conferences attended and Conferences held), Writings, Articles Read, and Administrative.","Materials were boxed up and brought to Fenwick in Spring 2017. Beckman completed EAD markup of a preliminary finding aid with the processed materials in June 2017. Processing was paused in 2017 to apply for a NEH grant to hire a dedicated processing archivist. The grant was approved to start in 2020 but was delayed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.","Rebecca Thayer was hired in March 2021 to process the collection. She surveyed the arranged part of the collection (145 linear feet) and the unprocessed part (147 linear feet) to create a processing plan. This plan included adjustments to the original arrangement scheme based on material in the unprocessed section of the papers. A large number of the eventual Jo Ann Burgess papers series materials were in the unprocessed section of the collection, although the unprocessed section did contain materials from all series.","The prior arrangement scheme did not preserve Tillman and Burgess' files as discrete series, so it is likely that some materials created by Tillman or Burgess were dispersed into the various other series. Some materials in the correspondence series especially which were obviously correspondence involving only Tillman, Burgess, or Ann Bakke Buchanan, were removed to their respective series and subseries. However, Thayer did not attempt a systematic review of materials in other series such as Professional Services and Academia in order to separate out Tillman and Burgess-created files from Buchanan-created files. This has resulted in some significant overlap between those series and the Betty Tillman papers and Jo Ann Burgess papers series. This does reflect the significant overlap in work responsibilities of Tillman, Burgess, Buchanan, and the Center as seen in the materials.","Processors prior to the NEH grant appear to have filed out materials that were originally grouped in large miscellaneous folders. Buchanan, Tillman, and Burgess do not seem to have created many files with only one or two emails or letters, preferring larger bulk folders. However, in the collection there are now many individual folders with correspondents that seem to have been created from larger files. No additional filing out of material was done under the NEH grant.","Thayer arranged the unprocessed materials and reprocessed the previously arranged materials, combining the two. Mason Graduate Research Assistant Rachel Barton and undergraduate assistants Colin McDonald and Vilma Chicas Garcia assisted with arrangement, reboxing, and inventory creation. Amanda Menjivar, Manuscripts and Archives Librarian, assisted with finding aid data entry and publishing.","The James M. Buchanan papers largely consist of correspondence, writings, and administrative files created between the years 1930-2014. The collection contains 9 series.","Series 1: Biographical materials (circa 1800s, 1944-2012) contains information about James M. Buchanan's life and career. It is further divided into four subseries. Subseries 1.1: Ann Bakke Buchanan papers contains materials created by Ann Bakke Buchanan, James M. Buchanan's wife. Materials include correspondence, recipe cards, notebooks, calendars, and photographs. Some of the correspondence is in Norwegian, and some addressed to both James and Ann as a couple. Subseries 1.2: Awards contains newspapers clippings, congratulatory letters, photographs, and memorabilia relating to awards Buchanan received during his career. The majority of the materials relate to the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Subseries 1.3: Education contains study notes, essays, syllabi, and research notes from Buchanan's education, mostly from his PhD study at the University of Chicago. Subseries 1.4: Clippings contains newspaper and magazine clippings about Buchanan, including articles about his work, interviews, and reports on events he attended.","Series 2: Correspondence (1951-2014) contains letters, emails, memoranda, cards, and other forms of written communication, mostly dealing with Buchanan's professional career. Subseries 2.1: Alphabetical correspondence contains the bulk of the correspondence, filed alphabetically by correspondent, subject, or name of an organization. Subseries 2.2: Chronological correspondence is a small amount of unrelated correspondence that was grouped together in date ranges, likely by either Buchanan himself, or his assistants Betty Tillman and Jo Ann Burgess.","Series 3: Writings (1946-2012) contains drafts, typescripts, photocopies, notes, and reprints of Buchanan's books, articles, speaking lectures, and unpublished material.

Processing at this time was done by Greta Suiter, then-Processing Coordinator at the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), and Solomon Stein, then-economics PhD student at Mason. Stein and Suiter established an initial arrangement scheme and began foldering and sorting materials accordingly. Elizabeth Beckman, then-Processing Coordinator, continued arrangement and refoldering work alongside Stein at Buchanan House from 2014 to 2016. 145 linear feet of materials were ultimately arranged during this time. The following series were created: Correspondence, Academic (Subseries: Courses taken and Courses taught), Conferences (Subseries: Conferences attended and Conferences held), Writings, Articles Read, and Administrative.","Materials were boxed up and brought to Fenwick in Spring 2017. Beckman completed EAD markup of a preliminary finding aid with the processed materials in June 2017. Processing was paused in 2017 to apply for a NEH grant to hire a dedicated processing archivist. The grant was approved to start in 2020 but was delayed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.","Rebecca Thayer was hired in March 2021 to process the collection. She surveyed the arranged part of the collection (145 linear feet) and the unprocessed part (147 linear feet) to create a processing plan. This plan included adjustments to the original arrangement scheme based on material in the unprocessed section of the papers. A large number of the eventual Jo Ann Burgess papers series materials were in the unprocessed section of the collection, although the unprocessed section did contain materials from all series.","The prior arrangement scheme did not preserve Tillman and Burgess' files as discrete series, so it is likely that some materials created by Tillman or Burgess were dispersed into the various other series. Some materials in the correspondence series especially which were obviously correspondence involving only Tillman, Burgess, or Ann Bakke Buchanan, were removed to their respective series and subseries. However, Thayer did not attempt a systematic review of materials in other series such as Professional Services and Academia in order to separate out Tillman and Burgess-created files from Buchanan-created files. This has resulted in some significant overlap between those series and the Betty Tillman papers and Jo Ann Burgess papers series. This does reflect the significant overlap in work responsibilities of Tillman, Burgess, Buchanan, and the Center as seen in the materials.","Processors prior to the NEH grant appear to have filed out materials that were originally grouped in large miscellaneous folders. Buchanan, Tillman, and Burgess do not seem to have created many files with only one or two emails or letters, preferring larger bulk folders. However, in the collection there are now many individual folders with correspondents that seem to have been created from larger files. No additional filing out of material was done under the NEH grant.","Thayer arranged the unprocessed materials and reprocessed the previously arranged materials, combining the two. Mason Graduate Research Assistant Rachel Barton and undergraduate assistants Colin McDonald and Vilma Chicas Garcia assisted with arrangement, reboxing, and inventory creation.

Battle Professor of Law and Director of the Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, is a recognized authority in the fields of mental health, drug law, and criminal law.  In addition to his roles at the Law School, where he began teaching in 1969, Bonnie has worked for the federal government in various capacities, and as a private consultant.","Born in 1945 at Richmond, Virginia, Bonnie received his bachelor of arts degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1966, and his law degree from Virginia three years later. He ranked first in his law school class, served on the editorial board of the Virginia Law Review, and belonged to the Order of the Coif and the Raven Society.","Following graduation, Bonnie taught at the Law School for a year before becoming associate director of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, serving from 1971 to 1973. In March 1972, the commission, under the direction of former Pennsylvania governor Raymond P. Shafer, unanimously recommended the decriminalization of consumption-related marijuana offenses. Although the report was endorsed by organizations such as the National Council of Churches and the National Education Association, it was quickly rejected by President Nixon and drew only a mixed response from state legislatures.  An amendment to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, drafted partially by Bonnie and incorporating the commission's findings, was approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1973.\n \n     \"From 1972 through 1977,\" Bonnie writes in the preface to his 1980 book, Marijuana Use and Criminal Sanctions, \"I was actively involved in the effort to win legislative support for reforming the marijuana laws (p. iii).\"  During most of these years he was also teaching at the Law School (having returned in the fall of 1973), but he found time to participate in the marijuana reform movement in several ways. Bonnie was appointed to the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (1975-1980), served as a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and helped write President Ford's White Paper on Drug Abuse in 1975.  He testified on marijuana policy before two U.S. Senate subcommittees and 15 state legislative committees, and in 1976-1977 helped the National Governors' Conference develop its study on state marijuana penalties and policies.  In 1977 he visited several European countries for the federal government, in part to explain the Carter administration's endorsement of marijuana decriminalization.\n    \n    Besides Marijuana Use, Bonnie also co-authored The Marihuana Conviction (1974) with Virginia colleague Charles H. Whitebread II, as well as numerous articles on marijuana and drug law for scholarly journals and periodicals, ranging from the Washington Post to the National Enquirer.\n    \n    In the 1980s, Bonnie began to move away from drug law and turn his attention more to the fields of psychiatry, mental health, and criminal law. He was chairman of the State Human Rights Committee (1979-1985), which was responsible for protecting the rights of the mentally ill and intellectually disabled in Virginia's public institutions, and co-authored a casebook on criminal law (1982) with Virginia professors Peter W. Low and John C. Jeffries, Jr.  Bonnie became a noted expert on the insanity defense, a heated issue following the acquittal of John Hinckley, Jr., in 1982, for the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.\n    \nRichard J. Bonnie teaches and writes about criminal law, bioethics, and public policies relating to mental health, substance abuse, and public health. He is Harrison Foundation Professor of Medicine and Law in the School of Law, Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine, and Professor of Public Policy in the Frank S. Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.","Bonnie has been actively involved in public service throughout his academic career. He was an advisor to the White House office on drug policy from 1973-77 and secretary of the first National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (1975‐80). From 1979‐1985, he was Chairman of Virginia's State Human Rights Committee, which is responsible for protecting the rights of residents and clients of Virginia's public services system for behavioral health and developmental disabilities. He also chaired the Commonwealth's influential Commission on Mental Health Law Reform from 2006-2011, at the request of the Chief Justice of Virginia.","Bonnie served from 1981‐88 on the Advisory Board for the American Bar Association's Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards Project, from 2004‐2007 on the ABA Task Force on Mental Illness and the Death Penalty, and is currently serving on an ABA Task Force charged with revising the Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards.\n    \nHe has served on three John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Networks – on Mental Health and the Law (1986-1996), Mandated Community Treatment (2000-10), and Law and Neuroscience (since 2006). He has served as an advisor to the American Psychiatric Association's Council on Psychiatry and Law since 1979, and also serves as an advisor to the Committee on Ethics, Law and Humanities of the American Academy of Neurology.","Bonnie was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1991 and has chaired and served on numerous IOM/NRC consensus studies, ranging from elder abuse to underage drinking. He recently chaired landmark studies on tobacco policy, Ending the Tobacco Problem (2007) and juvenile justice, Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach (2013). He has served on governing Boards of both the IOM and NRC, including the IOM Board on Neuroscience and Behavioral Health, the NRC Committee on Law and Justice, and the NRC Board on the Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, and is currently serving on the NRC Board on Cognitive, Behavioral and Sensory Sciences. In 2002 he was awarded the Yarmolinsky Medal for his extraordinary service to the IOM and the National Academies. \n    \nhttps://www.law.virginia.edu/faculty/profile/rjb6f/1146996","This collection includes Richard Bonnie's professional, legal, and research papers, covering the years from approximately 1969 through 2016.","This collection includes drug related issues, decriminalization of marijuana and insanity defense; extra teaching activities at the University of Virginia; case files on death row inmates; professional files related to issues of mental competency; visit to the Soviet Union as member of US delegation invited to investigated the political abuse of psychiatry; files from the State [Virginia] Human Rights Commission, American Bar Association, University of Virginia Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy; Virginia Department of Health and Mental Retardation, State Human Rights Committee, Virginia Bar Association; Institute of Medicine related to the Nicotine Study for prevention of tobacco use by children and youth; Geneva Initiative on Psychiatry; Commission on Mental Health Reform in Virginia; China Mental Health Reform; Scottish Law Commission and files regarding mental health law in the Czech Republic, Georgia and Serbia; College Mental Health Study files are some of the topics researcher can find in these papers.","An extensive general correspondence file contains materials related to his work in the Law School and other activities; correspondence touching on most of his professional and consulting activities typically may be found with related papers in the appropriate series.  There are very few personal papers.","The collection should be useful to anyone researching drug law, particularly the debate over the decriminalization of marijuana and the rise in drug usage in the 1970s -- an era of great ferment for the drug issue in the United States.  Clippings, correspondence, legislative testimony, the materials of special interest groups like NORML, and the notes for Bonnie's books convey the thoughts and attitudes that shaped the drug issue during these years.  There is a similar, if not as extensive, collection of materials on the insanity defense from the early 1980s.","Arthur J. Morris Law Library Special Collections","Virginia.

Battle Professor of Law and Director of the Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, is a recognized authority in the fields of mental health, drug law, and criminal law.  In addition to his roles at the Law School, where he began teaching in 1969, Bonnie has worked for the federal government in various capacities, and as a private consultant.","Born in 1945 at Richmond, Virginia, Bonnie received his bachelor of arts degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1966, and his law degree from Virginia three years later. He ranked first in his law school class, served on the editorial board of the Virginia Law Review, and belonged to the Order of the Coif and the Raven Society.","Following graduation, Bonnie taught at the Law School for a year before becoming associate director of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, serving from 1971 to 1973. In March 1972, the commission, under the direction of former Pennsylvania governor Raymond P. Shafer, unanimously recommended the decriminalization of consumption-related marijuana offenses. Although the report was endorsed by organizations such as the National Council of Churches and the National Education Association, it was quickly rejected by President Nixon and drew only a mixed response from state legislatures.  An amendment to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, drafted partially by Bonnie and incorporating the commission's findings, was approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1973.\n \n     \"From 1972 through 1977,\" Bonnie writes in the preface to his 1980 book, Marijuana Use and Criminal Sanctions, \"I was actively involved in the effort to win legislative support for reforming the marijuana laws (p. iii).\"  During most of these years he was also teaching at the Law School (having returned in the fall of 1973), but he found time to participate in the marijuana reform movement in several ways. Bonnie was appointed to the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (1975-1980), served as a special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, and helped write President Ford's White Paper on Drug Abuse in 1975.  He testified on marijuana policy before two U.S. Senate subcommittees and 15 state legislative committees, and in 1976-1977 helped the National Governors' Conference develop its study on state marijuana penalties and policies.  In 1977 he visited several European countries for the federal government, in part to explain the Carter administration's endorsement of marijuana decriminalization.\n    \n    Besides Marijuana Use, Bonnie also co-authored The Marihuana Conviction (1974) with Virginia colleague Charles H. Whitebread II, as well as numerous articles on marijuana and drug law for scholarly journals and periodicals, ranging from the Washington Post to the National Enquirer.\n    \n    In the 1980s, Bonnie began to move away from drug law and turn his attention more to the fields of psychiatry, mental health, and criminal law. He was chairman of the State Human Rights Committee (1979-1985), which was responsible for protecting the rights of the mentally ill and intellectually disabled in Virginia's public institutions, and co-authored a casebook on criminal law (1982) with Virginia professors Peter W. Low and John C. Jeffries, Jr.  Bonnie became a noted expert on the insanity defense, a heated issue following the acquittal of John Hinckley, Jr., in 1982, for the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.\n    \nRichard J. Bonnie teaches and writes about criminal law, bioethics, and public policies relating to mental health, substance abuse, and public health. He is Harrison Foundation Professor of Medicine and Law in the School of Law, Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine, and Professor of Public Policy in the Frank S. Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy.","Bonnie has been actively involved in public service throughout his academic career. He was an advisor to the White House office on drug policy from 1973-77 and secretary of the first National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse (1975‐80). From 1979‐1985, he was Chairman of Virginia's State Human Rights Committee, which is responsible for protecting the rights of residents and clients of Virginia's public services system for behavioral health and developmental disabilities. He also chaired the Commonwealth's influential Commission on Mental Health Law Reform from 2006-2011, at the request of the Chief Justice of Virginia.","Bonnie served from 1981‐88 on the Advisory Board for the American Bar Association's Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards Project, from 2004‐2007 on the ABA Task Force on Mental Illness and the Death Penalty, and is currently serving on an ABA Task Force charged with revising the Criminal Justice Mental Health Standards.\n    \nHe has served on three John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Networks – on Mental Health and the Law (1986-1996), Mandated Community Treatment (2000-10), and Law and Neuroscience (since 2006). He has served as an advisor to the American Psychiatric Association's Council on Psychiatry and Law since 1979, and also serves as an advisor to the Committee on Ethics, Law and Humanities of the American Academy of Neurology.","Bonnie was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1991 and has chaired and served on numerous IOM/NRC consensus studies, ranging from elder abuse to underage drinking. He recently chaired landmark studies on tobacco policy, Ending the Tobacco Problem (2007) and juvenile justice, Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach (2013). He has served on governing Boards of both the IOM and NRC, including the IOM Board on Neuroscience and Behavioral Health, the NRC Committee on Law and Justice, and the NRC Board on the Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, and is currently serving on the NRC Board on Cognitive, Behavioral and Sensory Sciences. In 2002 he was awarded the Yarmolinsky Medal for his extraordinary service to the IOM and the National Academies. \n    \nhttps://www.law.virginia.edu/faculty/profile/rjb6f/1146996"],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes Richard Bonnie's professional, legal, and research papers, covering the years from approximately 1969 through 2016.  \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes drug related issues, decriminalization of marijuana and insanity defense; extra teaching activities at the University of Virginia; case files on death row inmates; professional files related to issues of mental competency; visit to the Soviet Union as member of US delegation invited to investigated the political abuse of psychiatry; files from the State [Virginia] Human Rights Commission, American Bar Association, University of Virginia Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy; Virginia Department of Health and Mental Retardation, State Human Rights Committee, Virginia Bar Association; Institute of Medicine related to the Nicotine Study for prevention of tobacco use by children and youth; Geneva Initiative on Psychiatry; Commission on Mental Health Reform in Virginia; China Mental Health Reform; Scottish Law Commission and files regarding mental health law in the Czech Republic, Georgia and Serbia; College Mental Health Study files are some of the topics researcher can find in these papers.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAn extensive general correspondence file contains materials related to his work in the Law School and other activities; correspondence touching on most of his professional and consulting activities typically may be found with related papers in the appropriate series.

The Extension Division, under the\n         direction of George B. Zehmer, established UVa's Northern\n         Virginia University Center in September 1949 with John\n         Norville Gibson Finley (1899-1971) as the Center's first\n         director. The Center's administrative offices and \"campus,\"\n         were located on the campus of Washington - Lee High School in\n         Arlington, Virginia. During the Center's beginning years, it\n         offered college-level courses for adults.","By 1956, sensing the public need for a college in Northern\n         Virginia area for recent high school graduates, the Extension\n         Division proposed and created, with the help of the Virginia\n         State Legislature, a new two-year branch college alongside the\n         Northern Virginia Center. The branch was called the University\n         College. Finley was appointed director of the new college,\n         whose administrative office was also located on the campus of\n         Washington - Lee High School. Finley remained director of both\n         schools through the 1950s.","In 1957, the University of Virginia leased the vacant\n         Bailey's Crossroads Elementary School for the University\n         College's temporary site. The building was renovated and\n         outfitted with laboratory equipment and other additions needed\n         to make it ready for college instruction. Meanwhile, UVa\n         sought a more permanent site for the new college. In 1959 the\n         Town of Fairfax donated the tract of land on which the\n         University resides today. Director Finley saw the first\n         buildings completed in late 1963 and early 1964.","Robert H. Reid (1913-1970) was director of George Mason\n         College from 1964-1966. During his tenure, George Mason\n         College moved from Bailey's Crossroads to the new 150 acre\n         campus just outside of Fairfax City. The Virginia General\n         Assembly passed a bill to expand GMC to a four-year\n         degree-granting institution in 1966. Reid resigned in March,\n         1966 stating that his resignation had been prompted by the\n         failure of the 1966 General Assembly to make George Mason\n         independent of the University of Virginia.","In 1966, Lorin A. Thompson (1902-1999), became the first\n         chancellor of George Mason College, and in 1972, the first\n         president of the newly independent George Mason University.\n         During his seven years, 1966-1973, the student population\n         grew from 840 to more than 4,000; and in 1970 Mason began its\n         first graduate program.","Vergil H. Dykstra (1925-2010), president of George Mason\n         University from 1973 to 1977, described his years at Mason as\n         demanding and difficult, but rewarding. Rapid growth of the\n         University continued as undergraduate and graduate programs were added to the curriculum. He also proposed establishing a law school for the University and expanded academic facilities.","Robert C. Krug (1918-2006) came to George Mason College in\n         1965. Prior to accepting the presidency, after Vergil\n         Dykstra's resignation in April 1977, Dr. Krug held the\n         positions of Dean of the College, Dean of the Faculty and\n         Graduate School, Provost, and Vice President for Academic\n         Affairs. During his presidency from 1977 to 1978, Krug proved\n         to be an effective lobbyist for funds from Richmond. He also\n         obtained the University's first computers.","George W. Johnson (1928- ), inaugurated president in 1979,\n         guided George Mason University from a small liberal arts\n         college into a major university. In his eighteen years as\n         president, George Mason University acquired doctoral status;\n         establish a law school; instituted thirty-four new programs;\n         created new organizational structures; including six academic\n         institutes, and became a distributed university with campuses\n         in Arlington and Prince William counties. Johnson also\n         instituted the Early Identification Program and the Mason\n         Scholars Program.","Alan G. Merten (1941- ) became the fifth president of George Mason University in July of 1996 and he has announced \nhis retirement for June 2012. During his time as president, Merten has successfully stressed connecting research, teaching, and outreach \nactivities; increasing the positive perception of George Mason; initiating activities with a local impact; and identifying and \npursuing bases of financial support.","The Office of the President records contain material originating in\n         or directed to the GMU Office of the President and used in the\n         University's business. Types of material include memoranda, correspondence, studies, reports, speeches, meeting \nminutes, calendars, articles and newspaper clippings, publications, scrapbooks, and photographs. Topics and institutions to \nwhich these materials pertain include the University of Virginia (as GMU's parent institution), the Northern Virginia Center, \nUniversity planning and expansion with regard to building and academic programs, the State Council for Higher Education of Virginia (SCHEV), and\nrelations with Virginia government officials.","The collection is divided into seven series based on the president of the University. Exceptions to this scheme are the first \ntwo series: Annual Reports and Early History. Many of the annual reports were already grouped together, rather than \ndividing them by president they became the first series. Annual reports, written by the director or president, from George \nMason College (1960-1969) to George Mason University (1971-1980), document the rate of change during George Mason's first \ntwenty years. The reports stop in 1980 due to redundancy of information found in the annually released Factbook.","George Mason did not formally have a president until Chancellor Thompson became President Thompson in 1972. Series two \nencompasses the early history of George Mason University and includes information on the first directors of the \ninstitution - John Norville Gibson Finley and Robert H. Reid most notably. This series is titled Early History, and contains \npapers dating from 1949-1967 on the beginnings of George Mason as an institution when it was the University of Virginia (UVa) \nExtension Division's Northern Virginia University Center to the development of George Mason College. Included in the series is \ncorrespondence, building plans, reports, meeting notes, proposals, and articles.","In 1966 George Mason College became a four-year degree-granting institution and hired Lorin A. Thompson as chancellor. In \n1972 Thompson became the first president of the newly independent George Mason University. Series three Lorin A. Thompson, \nwith documents dating from 1964-1975, includes advisory board minutes, correspondence, faculty meeting minutes, educational planning, \nfinancial needs, university policies and procedures, land acquisition and building plans, memoranda, photographs, scrapbooks, \nand reports.","Series four, Vergil H.
