Abstract

The Faculty Minutes contain meeting minutes and related documents to Polytechnic faculty meetings. The minutes reflect the name changes of the institution from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (PIB) to the Polytechnic Institute of New York (PINY) to Polytechnic University, and, finally, to the Polytechnic Institute of New York University.

Biographical / Historical

The Faculty Minutes collection begins in 1896 in bound volumes. Over the years, the minutes were no longer bound, but were placed in three ring binders. The most recent faculty minutes and associated documents are foldered and boxed immediately after the meeting. Faculty meeting minutes from 2003 to present are also available online, although they are password protected so that only faculty members may view them.

The minutes reflect changes in the institution over time, including faculty appointments, graduation lists, proposed and accepted courses, and other issues related to the operation of the university.

Arrangement

Faculty Minutes are arranged by date into three series. Series I (1896-1975) contains the earliest faculty minutes and notes, which are bound. Series II (1962-1985) contains faculty minutes and notes in binders. Series III (1986-present) contains foldered faculty minutes and notes in boxes.

Scope and Contents

The Faculty Minutes contain both meeting minutes and other associated documents from faculty meetings. The minutes span from 1896 to the present and are available as bound items, binders, and loose paper documents.

Conditions Governing Access

Access is restricted to faculty.
