Immediate Source of Acquisition

Ronald W. Batchelder is a Professor of Economics at Pepperdine University. He received his BA in Economics from UC Berkeley,
and his PhD in Economics from UCLA. During his career at Pepperdine, Batchelder has also been heavily involved in the Seaver
Faculty Association.
The Seaver Faculty Association (SFA) was voted into existence in 1995, as a new incarnation of its predecessor, the Faculty
Organization of Seaver College (FOSC). The purpose of SFA is to provide a forum where faculty members can discuss academic
and professional matters, communicate as a single body with the Pepperdine administration, and become more involved in the
governance of Seaver College. The University Faculty Council (UFC) is a similar organization founded in 2001, that contains
members from all of Pepperdine's five schools and serves to provide a broader voice in order to achieve university-wide faculty
goals.
The collection includes correspondence, meeting minutes, memorandums, proposals, reports, calendars, and notes related to
faculty issues and concerns at Pepperdine University. Most of the material is related to the Seaver Faculty Association (SFA)
and the work of its committees, which includes discussions of faculty salaries, benefits, and revisions to faculty handbooks.
Before 1995, the SFA was known as the Faculty Organization of Seaver College (FOSC),
A smaller amount of materials in the collection relate to the operation of the University Faculty Council, as well as the
Social Sciences Division of Seaver College. Also included in the collection are a small number of faculty handbooks.
The collection is organized in the following series: 1. Seaver Faculty Association; 2. Seaver Faculty Handbooks; 3. Seaver
Social Sciences Division; and 4. University Faculty Council. Materials within each series are organized chronologically.
The collection was arranged and described by Jessica Geiser and Jamie Henricks in June, 2012.
