RG 021 University of Montana--Missoula. Faculty Senate. The University of Montana Faculty Senate records 1895-2002 26.7 linear feet The University of Montana Faculty Senate was formed in 1895 to promote faculty involvement in the governance of the university. This record group includes minutes, correspondence, evaluations, and proposals from the Faculty Senate, including materials produced by the many committees reporting to the Senate. Materials in this records group are in English. Historical Note

The University of Montana-Missoula's Faculty Senate serves to promote faculty involvement in the governance of the University. The Senate reviews, debates, and votes on issues pertaining to the academic and faculty welfare of The University of Montana (UM) in consultation and cooperation with the President and University administration. Faculty members contribute to UM governance by participating in the Senate and specific committees.

The first faculty meeting of the University was held on September 9, 1895. All five original faculty members were present. Some of the first topics of discussion were entrance examinations, the matriculation fee, and the welcoming ceremony which was to be held Wednesday, September 11, 1895. Faculty meetings were held often in the first few years to help get the University running smoothly. As the number of faculty grew, committees were formed to share the responsibilities. On October 30, 1961 this organizing body of the faculty officially became the Faculty Senate. Officials were elected and new procedures for the Senate, including the Robert’s Rules of Order, were voted on and adopted that year.

This collection contains minutes, correspondence, evaluations, proposals, and reports of the Faculty Senate dating back to 1895. Files directly concerning the Faculty Senate, its committees, and issues discussed by the Faculty Senate were largely retained. These materials may be found in series I-IV. Files about other committees or administrative bodies were retained if they contained documents reflecting direct interactions with the Faculty Senate. This collection contains extensive information about the development of the University's curriculum in Series III, Subseries 2: Academic Standards and Curriculum Review Committee; Series I, Subseries 2: Faculty Senate Minutes and Issues; and Series III, Subseries 7: Graduate Council. Information about the governance of the Faculty Senate is largely contained in Series II: Executive Committee of the Senate and Series I, Subseries 1: Articles and bylaws. The collection also contains information changes to the University resulting from financial difficulties in the 1970s and 1980s. Specifically, changes to faculty salaries and advancement, as well as the elimination of departments and programs known as retrenchment.

The collection was reorganized in 2011 in order to better represent the structure and activities of the Faculty Senate. The collection is divided into five series:

University of Montana Faculty Senate Records, Archives and Special Collections, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, University of Montana-Missoula.

The bulk of the Faculty Senate records were held by that organization until transferred to Archives and Special Collections. Other material was held by Robert Sullivan, a former dean of the University of Montana School of Law.

These records were transferred to the Archives in four groups from 1973 to 2005. The bulk of the materials were transferred in 1999. Minute books from 1918-1948 were transferred to the Archives from the Office of the Registrar in 2019. Robert Sullivan donated material relating to the Faculty Senate with his papers at different stages beginning in 1970 and continuing until his death in 2009.

Periodic accruals are expected from the Office of the Faculty Senate.

This collection was initially organized by Camie Foos, the administrative associate of the Faculty Senate, in 2004 and 2005. Further archival organization was completed in 2005 by Robin Bick. In 2011, Steven Bingo altered the series and folder level organization of the collection to better reflect the structure and functions of the Faculty Senate. In addition, published works such as course catalogs were removed from the records group. Files duplicated by university personnel files, search committee files, case files for grievances by or about faculty, and files for the awarding of honorary degrees were also removed from the records group. Lists from the registrar of degree candidates containing student grades were also removed. Minutes, agendas, and memos relating to the Executive Committee, Academic Standards and Curriculum Review Committee, and other ad hoc Faculty Senate committees were discovered when the Archives processed the Robert E. Sullivan Papers in 2022. After discovering these materials filed gaps in the exisiting Faculty Senate Records collection (RG 021), the decision was made to incorporte them in to RG 021.

Archives and Special Collections holds a number of collections and materials related to the Faculty Senate including the following:

The Albert W. Stone Papers, Mss 555, include material on the Salary and Promotions Committee, 1962-1976, and the Reorganization of Faculty Senate, 1960-1961. University Publications, Series XI: Faculty and Staff has information about Faculty Senate, By-laws and various committees.
