Abstract:
Records of the assistant chancellor's office, and its predecessors, the Dean of Student Affairs and Assistant Chancellor for Student Services and Special Programs. Most of the records date from 1970-1984. The majority of the collection consists of the files concerning the operations of ad hoc and standing committees, departments and programs within Student Affairs, including Admissions and Records, the Experimental Program in Higher Education, Financial Aid, High School and College Relations, Housing, International Scholars, Learning Skills, Placement and Career Development, Registration and Records, and Student Health. The files contain copies of correspondence, reports, and background materials either created by the assistant chancellor or sent to him from other offices documenting funding, staffing, and program development. The collection contains numerous records concerning the recruitment, retention, and quality of African American student life at UWM, including files on the Advisory Committee on Minority/Disadvantaged Student Life, the Experimental Program in Higher Education, and the Upward Bound Program. A variety of files concerning student housing at UWM document the development of on- and off-campus housing services, residence regulation, and costs of services. Also included in the collection are several files related to the Affirmative Action Advisory and Oversight Committee (AAAOC), the Student Accessibility Center (SAC), the Pre-College Program, and the Division of Student Academic Development.

The collection contains a few records of the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee which predate the creation of Student Affairs in 1956, including files from the Dean of Women and New Student Week. No records exist from the tenure of Robert E. Norris and David W. Robinson as deans of Student Affairs (1956-1970).
