Administrative History

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 1972-1973 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.

Scope and Content Note

The School of Public and Environmental Affairs records consist of the administrative subject files of the first Dean of SPEA, Charles F. Bonser and, to a much lesser extent, of his successor James Barnes. The collection consists of 10.4 cubic feet and spans the period from 1969-2007. The records are arranged into two series. The bulk of the collection can be found in the Administrative files series which consists of subject files arranged alphabetically. Prominent types of records or subjects within this series include: faculty related records, Lilly sponsored project and program material, overseas studies records, National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) related records, annual reports of the Dean, curriculum and course material, Master of Public Affairs (MPA) Program records, Strategic Planning Task Force records, drafts of the "Managing Municipal Change" publication, and Pi Alpha Alpha organization records. The records in the Crane Public Management Certification Program series (1993-1999) contain material related to the program's curriculum, to students in the program, and to the program's annual trip to Washington D.C arranged in chronological order. The series is restricted due to the presence of social security numbers and grades. Some public records in the series may be made available to researchers upon review by an archivist.

Arrangement

The collection is organized into two series: Administrative files and Crane Public Management Certification Program series.
