These records were created by the Office of the President 85 boxes, 81.75 linear feet The University of Central Florida is a public multi-campus, metropolitan research university that not only educates the local community but also partners with technological companies and with educational facilities abroad. As Chief Executive Officer of the University, the president has support from a large team; therefore, the Records of the Office of the President document the University's major interests. Nevertheless, correspondence, reports, minutes, leaflets and news clippings also show the breadth and depth of the president's work and his personal interests. Selected Subjects and Access Points

The materials were transferred to the University Archives by the Office of the President in 2005.

Processing History

Rusted paper clips were removed and replaced with plastic clips. Some news clippings were photocopied onto pH neutral paper. All materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and boxes. Duplicates were removed and social security numbers were obliterated. Faxes that were almost illegible were retyped to preserve the information they contained. Post-it notes were moved to the edge of documents to prevent destruction of information. To facilitate research, files in the alphabetical files that belonged more appropriately in other series were moved. Reports were removed to University Publications for cataloging unless they had supporting documentation. Some materials of interest but not archival were removed to the vertical file. Most photographs were removed to the University Photographs Collection but a few remain where context demands it. Materials in binders were removed and some dividers were replaced with acid-free paper.

Access

While most of the collection is open for research, some materials concerning grievances in boxes 3, 42, 71 and 79, a few materials in box 63 concerning the Medical School, some materials in boxes 81 and 82 relating to Student Government, information in box 39 concerning the Jenkins Chair and some materials prepared for an external organization in box 73 are closed until review by the University Archivist in 2017.

Biographical/Historical Note

During the period covered by these records, the University had four presidents, Charles N. Millican, H. Trevor Colbourn, Steven Altman and John C. Hitt. An acting president, Leslie Ellis served between Dr. Millican and Dr. Colbourn and interim president, Robert A. Bryan, served between Dr. Altman and Dr. Hitt. Each man contributed to the creation of these records, and many files include correspondence from several of them; some files even have at least one document produced by every man. The Office of the President was organized by an executive secretary: Mildred Kennedy worked for Dr. Millican, Dr. Ellis, Dr. Colbourn and Dr. Altman; Victoria Brown worked for Dr. Altman, Dr. Bryan and Dr. Hitt. Amy Barnickel and Sandra Cherepow work for Dr. Hitt. Additionally, Dr. Hitt has a Chief of Staff, Beth Barnes.

Collection Scope and Content

These materials were stored periodically by the executive assistant; therefore, information on a single topic may be found in multiple boxes. The records are arranged in six series following the organization of the University, which had a Provost/Vice-President of Academic Affairs, a Vice-President of Research, a Vice-President of Student Affairs, a Vice-President of University Relations and a Vice-President of Administration and Finance. The Office of the President also kept alphabetical files on numerous matters in which the president was involved that related to the University and organizations with which he was involved outside the University. The latter varied with the personal interests of each president.

At the time most of these records were created, the University was part of the Florida State University System governed by a Board of Regents. A significant portion of these records, therefore, documents the role that the Board played in the University and chronicles its replacement by an individual Board of Trustees. These records show the range of a president's work nationally, statewide, locally, within the University and in conjunction with the State University System.

Series I: State University System, 1969-2002 contains materials that document the broad scope of the State University System that was the entity governed by the Board of Regents from 1965 to 2001. It shows the president's work with both the State University System and federal entities in dealing with the university's operations and budgetary concerns. Most of these records were created by or for the Chancellor, Board of Regents and Council of Presidents. This series includes information about the dissolution of the Board of Regents.

Series II: Academic Affairs, 1973-2004 holds records concerning the academic life of the University. This series includes documents about individual colleges, centers and institutes, branch campuses, faculty, research, Undergraduate Studies, the library, WUCF, programs and Founders' Day. Documents written in Russian are included in the file concerning the Florida/USSR International Linkage Institute and the Chinese language documents are in the International Programs file. Materials of interest include individual department files, files on branch campuses and related facilities, the Sinkhole Research Institute, Women's Center, and the founding and operations of the Orlando Shakespeare Festival.

Series III: Student Affairs, 1980-2002 contains materials that relate to aspects of university life that fall under the auspices of the Vice-President for Student Affairs or that directly interest students. This series includes information about housing and how it was financed, food service, the building of the Student Union and the International Student Center. It also holds materials on Student Government, greek life and other student associations.

Series IV: University Relations, 1969-2003 holds materials concerning the university's relationships with outside individuals and companies. Many of the materials in this series relate to the Foundation that raises money for the University. The Foundation's files mostly consist of Board Meeting minutes, budgetary concerns, scholarship fund-raisers and the building of the President's House. The University Club files document the public discussion that followed when the Foundation decided to accept scholarship funds from the club, which did not admit women or minorities as members. Other materials document alternative sources of funding and ways of marketing the university including relationships with alumni, community members and leaders, and with the State University System that governed UCF during this period.

Series V: Administration and Finance, 1968-2000 contains a small amount of material that shows the variety of subjects monitored by this division. It oversees such departments as Human Resources, Facilities Planning and the police as well as the university's finances. Budget files provide a glimpse of how money is spent and accounted for at the institution, and the other files show how costs impact every aspect of the organization including buildings, campus services and personnel.

Series VI: President's Office, 1968-2008 holds materials relating to matters in which the president was directly involved. This series above others shows the range of a president's work nationally, statewide, locally and within the university. Government, associations, businesses, community involvement and university policy all require the president's direct attention, and examples of all these aspects of his work may be found in the alphabetical files and the chronological files. One large group of files documents intercollegiate athletics. Personal files show UCF presidents' commitment to community involvement as well as the advancement of Orlando as a whole. Within the correspondence files are form letters written to the entire University, letters of complaint, praise, invitation or thanks, occasional photographs, requests to serve on committees, correspondence with officials of the government and the State University System, agreements with partners, and information concerning local organizations and businesses. All types of correspondence were sampled to form a representative selection of the types of correspondence written and received by the president. Document type files include reports, appointment books, news clippings and commemorative materials. Finally some files document the activities undertaken by Dr. Hitt's Chief of Staff.

Contents List Series I: State University System, 1969-2002 26.75 Boxes

Series I contains correspondence, reports, and notes that detail the president's involvement with the State University System as it related to the operations of the university. The subseries and the files within them are arranged in alphabetical order.

Most of the materials consist of meeting documents for the Board of Regents and Council of Presidents meetings. File dividers were removed from some of these documents and replaced with acid-free paper; the numbers indicate the agenda numbers. Some Council of Presidents meeting documents are almost entirely minutes, and they form a separate file group.

Budgets for the universities were negotiated through the State University System and the budget process is documented here. A separate subseries is devoted to the Chancellor who was in frequent contact with the presidents and the Board of Regents by memorandum. This internal correspondence differs from Policy Memoranda that are consecutively numbered beginning in January of each year until 1996 when the system became more complicated. Policy Memoranda are, therefore, arranged by number until 1996 and then chronologically. In October 1996 the memoranda were rescinded and new ones issued with an index on the Chancellor's web site.

Of particular interest in this series are the files entitled "governance" that show how the Board of Regents came to an end. July 1981 meetings include information about groundbreaking for Research Park. State University System Master Plans and files highlighting the president's work with the Florida Senate Ways and Means Committee on a twenty-five percent Florida universities budget reduction for UCF are also significant.

Series II contains correspondence, reports, notes and pamphlets that shows how the University functioned academically. The materials are arranged in several subseries to help limit searches for relevant information. Some subseries also have files containing general information, and in these cases box numbers are provided for the subseries titles. Files are arranged alphabetically within each subseries. Each College has its own subseries followed by Centers and Institutes, Branch Campuses and Joint Use Facilities, Programs, Research, Faculty, Undergraduate Studies, Graduate Studies and Grants and Scholarships. Finally, "University Affairs" was selected as a general title to encompass academic activities that did fall readily into other subseries. Further information about the contents of each subseries may be found within the subseries.

This subseries holds information concerning centers, institutes, forums and academies. All of these entities bore some relationship to the University, but not all were solely UCF divisions.

Series VI holds correspondence, reports, invitations, speeches, notes, pamphlets and minutes that reveal the reach of the president's office; these files show the wide range of matters in which the president is involved from university policies to local, state and national organizations. Five subseries arranged by type of files facilitate research: alphabetical, personal interest, correspondence, document type and finally files created by Chief of Staff Beth Barnes.

Alpha Files, 1968-2005.

Alphabetical files include information on a variety of topics including national and state educational organizations, university legal matters and equal opportunity considerations. As the General Counsel was formerly known as Legal Counsel, both names appear in the folder title. The president also kept files on particular individuals and projects, programs and plans that affected the entire university, and his speeches.

Of particular interest is a large group of files concerning intercollegiate athletics. Although most of these materials document the football program, there are also folders concerning women's sports and men's soccer. Many of the records concern the University's relationship with organizations such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Sunbelt Conference and the Atlantic Sun Conference. The latter was previously known as the Trans America Conference, and researchers should examine files under both headings. Dr. Hitt reviewed other institutions on behalf of the NCAA, and his work may be found in the folders entitled "Peer Reviews". While the reviews of UCF may be found under "Athletics Certification and Accreditation". Further information concerning athletics may be found in the Chronicle for Higher Education file. Activities of the fund raising organization, the Knight Boosters, are also documented within Intercollegiate Athletics. One folder concerning a United Way event appears here in addition to separate files on the United Way.

Correspondence files provide examples of typical correspondence between the president and employees, those seeking employment and anyone with a problem. Within these files are letters of complaint, praise, invitation, thanks, occasional photographs, and information concerning local organizations and businesses; outer office files are those signed by but not initiated by the president. Of interest in the problem files is information showing concern about Legionella on campus. In the General Correspondence files may be found examples of typical correspondence between the president and the general public. Of particular interest here, are letters between the president and schoolchildren in California as part of a program to foster higher education.

Chronological files contain similar materials to correspondence files but are organized by date rather than by sender. Imaged files include letters, reports, and other documents that the President's Office preserved digitally, numbered and arranged chronologically. The clippings notebooks contain far more than news clippings; they contain pamphlets and notes on a variety of subjects including Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Athletics, construction, speech ideas and statistics about UCF. Four binders were emptied and foldered with the index placed at the start of the first folder for each binder. Commemoratives include proclamations celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dr. Hitt's arrival at UCF and the 40th anniversary of the university's founding.
