Collection #108
( cu. ft.)


Historical Note

The proposal to create the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University was approved on January 14, 1972. Enrollment in the School began in the 1972/73 academic year. SPEA was established in response to the growing need for trained, public servants at all levels of the government and to the lack of any such programs in midwest. SPEA's stated goals are 1) to expand and develop graduate programs designed to train people who will meet the needs of the public sector; 2) to provide a series of in-service training programs; 3) to implement and coordinate an interdisciplinary program in the School; 4) to promote and organize applied public policy research activities; 5) to provide a means of communication to decision makers in the public sector, and 6) to develop and coordinate placement activities for graduates. The first Dean of the School was Charles F. Bonser, who served from 1972-1988. Bonser was succeeded as Dean by A. James Barnes.


Scope and Content Note

The School of Public and Environmental Affairs records consist of the administrative subject files of the first Dean, Charles F. Bonsor and, to a much lesser extent, of his successor as Dean, A. James Barnes. The collection consists of nine cubic feet (284 folders) and spans the period from 1969-1993. The records are arranged into one series: administrative subject files arranged alphabetically. Prominent types of records or subjects within the collection include: faculty related records, Lilly sponsored project and program material, overseas studies records, NASPAA related records, annual reports of the Dean, curriculum and course material, MPA Program records, Strategic Planning Task Force records and PI Alpha Alpha organization records.
