Reference Files
The Reference Files sub sub-series continues from earlier accessions and consists of policy statements, articles, and reports relating to topics central to the priorities of Duderstadt's administration, including diversity and strategic planning. Of particular note are files related to the Policy on Discrimination and Discrimination Harassment by Students in the University Environment, adopted by the Board of Regents in 1988. It was challenged by a graduate student in John Doe v. University of Michigan and the portions relating to verbal behavior and conduct were struck down by Judge Avern Cohn of Detroit.
