Administrative Files

Series 1: Administrative Files, 1962-2016, includes annual reports; master plans; goals and objectives for various university divisions and departments, most notably the Office of Affirmative Action and the Office of Disability Services; philanthropic and scholarship initiatives; and documentation of Carrier's various honors and awards. Specific projects documented include the establishment of the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT); the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, named after Carrier's wife; and the Greater University Commission. The academic restructuring of the mid-1990s is documented in the CISAT files but specifically in a CD containing legal documents for the court case Faculty for Responsible Change (FRC) vs. The Visitors of James Madison University (1995).

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
