Historical Note

Charles H. Monson was named the first Deputy Academic Vice President in 1966. In 1967, the name was changed to Associate Academic Vice President. In 1973, the office of Academic Vice President became part of the new office of Vice President for Academic Affairs in a major administrative reorganization. Orlando A. Rivera served as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs from 1974 to 1984.

The office of Associate Vice President was primarily responsible for liason with the Council of Academic Deans and oversight of affirmative action and Title IX compliance, auxiliary faculty appointments, and teaching assistants/teaching fellows programs.

Content Description

This collection consists primarily of correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, etc. relating to Orlando Rivera's duties as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. A good part of the collection, however, reflects Dr. Rivera's participation in numerous minority professional organizations, e.g., The National Association of Non-White Rehabilitation Workers, and involvement in the affairs of the Chicano and mainstream communities.

Of note are approximately two linear feet of records concerning the Teaching Assistants/Teaching Fellows Training Program founded in the 1960's by Rivera's predecessor, Charles Monson, and nearly two linear feet of material documenting the University's compliance with Titles IV, VI, IX.
