The Chancellor is UC San Diego's chief administrative officer and has general authority across the university. He or she is
responsible for establishing UC San Diego's administrative structure and insuring that it functions responsibly and efficiently.
Chancellors to date have been: Herbert F. York (Founding Chancellor, 1960-1964; Acting Chancellor, 1970-1972), John S. Galbraith
(Second Chancellor, 1964-1968), William J. McGill (Third Chancellor, 1968-1970), William D. McElroy (Fourth Chancellor, 1972-1980),
Richard C. Atkinson (Fifth Chancellor, 1980-1995), Marjorie C. Caserio (Interim Chancellor, 1995-1996), Robert C. Dynes (Sixth
Chancellor, 1996-2003), Marsha Chandler (Acting Chancellor, 2003-2004), Marye Anne Fox (Seventh Chancellor, 2004-2012), and
Pradeep Khosla (Eighth Chancellor, 2012-present).
In 1972 the Office of the Chancellor created a central filing system that was to collect records from various administrative
offices. This central filing system became what is now Policy and Records Administration (formerly called Administrative Records).
This office was later transferred from the Chancellor's Office to the office of the Vice-Chancellor for Resource Management
and Planning (formerly the Vice-Chancellor for Administration).
Originally, the files of Policy and Records Administration contained materials from the offices of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor
for Administration, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Business Management, Vice-Chancellor for Financial Management, and selected
files from the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Currently, Policy and Records Administrationve Records collects records
from the offices of the Chancellor, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs, and selected records from the Vice-Chancellor
for Administration and the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. It is important to note that these titles have changed over
time.
Scope and Content of Collection
Subject files maintained by Policy and Records Administration, including records from the Office of the Chancellor, the Office
of the Associate Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs, as well as selected materials from the offices of the Vice-Chancellor
for Administration and the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. The Subject Files document all aspects of the administration
of UC San Diego. Prominent subjects include the development of the campus, departments, and academic programs, the activities
and affairs of departments, committees, faculty, and students, and current events concerning the campus and surrounding communities.
The Office of the Chancellor's Subject Files are an accumulation of records from the Office of Policy and Records Administration
(formerly Administrative Records). Materials from different offices are interfiled into these subject files, generally in
chronological order.
The Subject Files document the administrative decisions that have directed the development of UC San Diego and evidence the
activities of individual departments and other units of campus operation. The files include incoming correspondence, copies
of some outgoing correspondence, memos, notes, and other materials pertaining to a given subject. Subjects include system-wide
administration, the building of the campus, development of academic programs, the activities of individual departments and
institutes, fund raising, campus-community relations, student affairs, current events concerning the campus, and committees
at the campus and systemwide levels.
Materials are arranged following the numbered filing system established by Policy and Records Administration.
