Dr. Katz's adminstrative files shed light on issues facing the faculty and administrators of the University during the tumultuous period of the late 1960s-early 1970s. Topics touched on in the files include campus unrest, the establishment of the Inner College, a proposed secession of the Chemistry Department from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as those raised in the Faculty Senate and Graduate School.
