Scope and Contents
The additions date between 1970 and 1981, covering the tenures of Leon Bosch (1970-1975) and Laurence Nobles (1975-1981) as Faculty Representative. In 1981, Fred Hemke became the Faculty Representative. Records consist of general and subject correspondence, and files relating to student athletes at Northwestern.
General correspondence covers a range of topics relating to Northwestern's involvement in the Big Ten, the NCAA, and the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, including legal and financial issues, women's athletics, and proposed legislation. Correspondents include the athletics director at Northwestern, NU's president, members of the US Congress, and faculty representatives, athletics directors, and administrators at other Conference schools. Subject correspondence files discuss a proposed merger of two sub-committees of NU's General Faculty Committee, need-based athletics scholarships, and a Faculty Representatives Task force which investigated ways to incorporate women's athletics into the intercollegiate organization.
Files relating to student athletes consist of a general file, with dates spanning the years 1972-1981, containing correspondence and supporting documents on eligibility, petitions, and activities of student athletes at Northwestern. Separate files document the specific cases of two student athletes.
