substantial consolidated papers (1960s-1974, 1970s-1992) as the three Executive Vice Presidents,

Roland C. Rautenstraus, J. Russell Nelson and Theodore Volsky, Jr., tended to carry forward

papers from previous administrative posts. The position of Executive Vice President appears to

have been less consistent than those of other vice presidencies. The position was of a delegatory

nature - presidents selecting EVPs who would best perform such administrative, budgetary, or

personnel tasks the presidents deemed necessary. EVPs acted as chiefs of staff in the central

administration, and in a supernumery fashion during the president's absence. When either a

president or an executive vice president left for another position, or retired, the post of Executive

VP would cease to exist.

grown in complexity and did not match the cumbersome structure of the Faculty Senate. The

Faculty Council worked with the students and gave more power to the faculty over university

governance. In 1974, when the University of Colorado split into four campuses, Boulder,

Colorado Springs, Denver, and the Health Sciences Center, the Faculty Council was dominated by

the Boulder campus. The Colorado Springs, Denver, and Health Sciences Center all formed their

own faculty assemblies. In 1976, the Faculty Council formed the Boulder Faculty Assembly,

which assumed many of the duties previously performed by the Council.


CU Faculty Council Privilege and Tenure Committee (Closed)


The Privilege and Tenure Committee is a constituent body of the Faculty Council that handles

matters concerning faculty promotion and tenure at all campuses of the University of Colorado. In

the University of Colorado’s history, tenure could be classified into two time periods: pre- and

post-1966. Prior to 1966, the basis for tenure was discussed solely within the Board of Regents

laws, existing as a concern of the Regents. Any documents related to pre-1966 tenure issues

should be sought in the Regents’ Minutes and University of Colorado President’s Office Papers.
