Biographical/Historical Sketch
The Academic Council was organized by the Stanford University faculty in 1904 and currently consists of members of the Professoriate
and certain officers of the academic administration as specified by the Articles of Organization. The Council holds one regularly
scheduled meeting annually. The Advisory Board of the Academic Council is composed of seven members of the rank of Professor
and addresses issues of appointments, promotions, dismissals, creation of new departments, and other policy matters as presented
to it by the University President.
In 1968 the Academic Council created the Senate of the Academic Council, composed of representatives elected from the Council.
The Senate meets monthly from October through June and is responsible for carrying out the functions of the Council. The Academic
Secretary is responsible for communicating the decisions and actions of the Senate to every member of the Council.
These records were generated by the Academic Council, the Academic Senate, the Academic Secretary, and various committees
and task forces. They include minutes, memoranda, correspondence, reports, election records, agendas and supporting documents,
rosters, memorial resolutions on deceased members, and audiotapes of meetings. The collection also includes minutes from faculty
meetings prior to the creation of the Academic Council, 1891-1904. Some of the issues addressed by the committees include
admissions, academic freedom, athletics, undergraduate education, foreign studies programs, graduate studies, public health,
education and employment of women in the University, student government, and student political activities.
