BACKGROUND NOTE
The Faculty Association papers represent the initial
founding of the South Dakota State College [SDSC] The Faculty
Association in 1946 and its evolution through the years. The stated
purpose of the Faculty Association was to perfect some
administrative measure that would insure unity and cooperation
between the faculty, administration and Regents. According to the
first constitution, this included a way to provide procedures for
carrying out duties and responsibilities of the faculty, and as a
way for faculty to cooperate and to elect representatives.
Membership in this organization included all faculty members with
the rank of instructor or above.
The Faculty Association was never a decision making
body. Rather, its role was to provide an outlet for questions
related to general faculty welfare. The association did elect up to
5 representatives to the President’s Administrative Council, which
was the governing council of administrators and did act as a policy
making body.
By the late 1960’s, the role of the Faculty
Association changed slightly. When the faculty voted to create an
Academic Senate, the Faculty Association was phased out slowly, to
allow for transition. In 1970, after the faculty voted to create an
Academic Senate, the Faculty Association continued to meet for
continuity’s sake. After 1972, they ceased to function at all.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
The Faculty Association Records sub-group is arranged
into two series: Committee Records and General Association Records.
The records are not thought to be complete, although this cannot be
established. Due to the lack of any discernable arrangement, the
series were created during the processing of the collection.
The Committee Records series spans the years
1946-1972, with the bulk of material from 1952-1960. Included are
committee assignments and studies completed by various committees.
Although the names of the individual committees changed over time,
their function remained essentially the same. Committees were
formed around the topics of tenure, promotion and rank, salary,
insurance, retirement, and other such topics.
The General Association records are composed of a
constitution, minutes and correspondence files. Most of the latter
consists entirely of correspondence from or to the acting head of
the association
