Regents' Meeting Agendas, Dockets, and Exhibits

 Collection
Identifier: 01/01/04

Scope and Contents

This series of records includes agenda, dockets, and exhibits from meetings of the Iowa Board of Regents. The series is an exceptionally strong and official source of information about curricular development, facilities, and policies for the Regents institutions. The records are comprised of different individuals' records and have been integrated to fill gaps as needed. There is limited indexing available for some of the run. There are occasional small gaps in the holdings. Sometimes a docket is missing from a monthly meeting, while other times, an entire month of information is absent. Board of Regents materials dating from 1985 to January 2020 are also accessible through the Board of Regents of the State of Iowa website.

Also included are copies of some of the dockets, dating 2008 and 2013-2014 and were donated by Pat Woelber. These copies were retained and placed at the end of the collection, due to their significant handwritten annotations and other notes accompanying the printed dockets. It is unclear who took the notes.
