Records of the Committee on Political Activity

The committee on Political Activity was appointed by President John P. Schaefer "to formulate a policy with regard to the question of how the University should deal with members of its faculty or staff who hold elective or appointive offices." It was chaired by Evelyn J. Kirmse. The collection includes correspondence, notes on meetings, reports, drafts of policy statements, and faculty reactions.
