Abstract:
Consists of the vice provost's (1956-1965), vice chancellor's (1965-2004), and Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (1993-2011) files. There are few records from the tenures of George Parkinson (1956-1958) and Charles Vevier (1963-1965). The volume of records created increased after Vevier became vice chancellor in 1965, but most of the records were created in the 1970s through the 1990s by Vice Chancellors William Walters, Norma Rees, John Schroeder, and Kenneth Watters. A large number of records from the 1970s to the 2010s have been added to the collection from Provost and Vice Chancellors for Academic Affairs Kenneth L. Watters, John Wanat, and Rita Cheng.

The majority of the collection documents the vice chancellor's administration of the academic affairs of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) and its centers, colleges, and schools. The records concern academic affairs; academic programs; affirmative action; campus planning; centers, colleges and schools; community and teacher education; computing; cooperative programs; ethnic studies and programs; faculty and academic staff; medical education; student affairs; and women's issues.

The offices best documented in the collection include Academic Affairs; College of Engineering and Applied Science; College of Letters & Science; Computing Services Division; Division of Urban Outreach; Golda Meir Library; Graduate School; College of Health Sciences; School of Architecture and Urban Planning; School of Business Administration; School of Education; School of Fine Arts; School of Information Studies; College of Nursing; and School of Social Welfare.
