Records of Leila Fraser, an assistant to the vice chancellor and later to the chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Fraser created most of the records while she was assistant to the vice chancellor. The majority of the collection documents her involvement with campus committees and organizations.

Fraser's deep involvment with affirmative action for women and minorities on the UWM campus is documented in her files on administrators and deans, affirmative action, the National Association for Women Deans, and on the Urban 13. Some of the letters in Fraser's chronological "outgoing letters" files can also be found in the other subject folders.

The collection contains information about the Law School Planning Committee and Psychology Facility Project Planning Committee. The files include copies of minutes, agendas, background materials, and Fraser's personal notes about the committees.

The "outgoing letters" files contain copies of letters sent from the chancellor and also letters sent by Fraser at the request of the chancellor. There are a few personal "thank you" notes from the chancellor to people who spoke at various UWM programs. There are many memos sent by the chancellor regarding recommendations made by the UWM Title IX Task Force. Any letters sent by Fraser in the chancellor's name were copied to the chancellor.

Almost all of Fraser's outgoing letters and memos are found in the "outgoing letters" files. Some inserts or attachments were separated and placed in the appropriate subject file. As chairperson of the Committee on Academic Staff and Limited Appointment Compensation and Classification, Fraser handled the correspondence sent to the deans of the various schools. Much of her committee correspondence documents budgetary or staffing issues. The correspondence answers questions of concern about the handling of routine matters and requests for changes on these issues.

The files concerning the proposed UWM Law School and the 1977 Women in Science Career Conference include proposals, budgets, library requirements, minutes of meetings, and correspondence.

The files are organized alphabetically by subject, then chronologically.
