Scope and content

This collections contains mostly minutes of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System (MnSCU) board, including its predecessors, from 1859 to 2006.  In addition, other material, such as financial reports, reports to the governor, fact books, and by-laws and rules and regulations.

Series 1: Board Meeting Minutes

These minutes contain information about students, expenses, campus buildings and spaces, and personnel.

Series 2: Other Administrative Records

This series contain by-laws and rules and regulations, factbooks, financial reports, reports to the governor, and correspondence of Warren Stewart. Though mostly dated in the 1960s and 1970s, some material does date to the 1860s and 1880s.

These records are simply copies held at MnSCU and retained at the University Archives for reference purposes.  Other records in University Archives, especially records of the President and Academic Affairs, contain records that document the interaction between St. Cloud State and MnSCU.
