judicial affairs, Housing and Community Living (later Housing and Residence Life), admissions, hiring, quality of academics,
international programs, athletics, students' spiritual life, information technology, and WASC accreditation. Materials are

Arrangement

General note
Note regarding University Planning Committee Materials- Although these materials belonged to Shirley Roper, her official responsibilities
for the committee ended around 2000 when the responsibility of chair passed to Dr. Magnusson and her office. When she resigned
to accept a position at Lipscomb, Dr. Tim Chester took over. Roper's serious involvement with the committee ended prior to
the end of the files in the collection and her notes may not be accurate.
Processing Information note
The collection was arranged and described by Catie Golitzin and Katie Richardson in December 2011.
