Scope and Contents

The collection consists of three series: University Operations Manual, University Organization Charts, and Human Rights Policy.

Series I: First issued in 1966, the Operations Manual addressed all aspects of University policies and procedures. Paper copies span 1966-2001, with bound volumes issued annually from 1990 to 2001.

Series II: The administrative offices of the University’s colleges and other units prepared the organization charts at the request of the Office of the President in 1988. The charts identify positions by title. The charts also rank the positions based upon their hierarchical relationships with other positions within their respective units. The files of charts are arranged alphabetically by name of college or unit and occupy one box (0.25 lin. ft.).


Related Materials

Additional information about the organizational structure of the University may be obtained from the general catalogs, faculty/staff directories, and the Operations Manual, all housed at the University Archives. In addition, individual departmental records at the archives may contain information about the organization of those respective offices.

A discussion of the University’s organization with an emphasis on the relationship between administration and faculty is in Stow Persons’ “The University of Iowa in the Twentieth Century: An Institutional History” (Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 1990).
