Collections Library, UCSD.
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration provided the UCSD campus with
business, support, and administrative services that fostered campus growth and helped to
ensure excellence in the campus's teaching, research and public service. Supporting the
administrative roles of the Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance,
the office's functions included university relations, development, administrative
computing, business contracts, and facilities construction.
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration has undergone several name changes
since the title was first used in 1967 when Robert H. Biron served as vice chancellor.
The office was inactive during 1968-1969 and its functions were taken over by the Office
of the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance from 1969 to 1972, when Bernard Sisco was
named Vice Chancellor for Administration. Sisco continued as vice chancellor until his
retirement in 1980, and Herman D. Johnson became acting vice chancellor. From 1982 to
1984, the office was named the Office of Resource Management, from 1984 to 1986 it was
the Office of Resource Management and Planning, and from 1986 to 1995 it changed back to
Administration. From 1982 to 1994, V. Wayne Kennedy served as vice chancellor.
The records of the Vice Chancellor for Administration (V. Wayne Kennedy, 1982-1993)
document the functions and activities of the office, including the management of
reporting administrative units. Materials include outgoing chronological correspondence
(1982-1992) and subject files (1965-1994). The bulk of the files relate to the
administration of V. Wayne Kennedy and date between 1982 and 1992. The records are
arranged in two series: 1) OUTGOING CORRESPONDENCE and 2) SUBJECT FILES.
