Re: Confidential Correspondence



Well, that seems so obvious now, I don't think I had enough coffee this
morning yet.  Some other replies I received suggested a term restriction
(say 30 years) for all upper level administration records.  Thanks for the
responses.  Chris

Why not just mark the whole set "restricted."  Anyone who wants to see
anything in the files would have to make the request through the "current
administration in those offices," and those folks would have to say aye or
nay.

Fellow private university archivists - how do you handle confidential
correspondence?  Our President left and our VPAA is leaving next week.  The
entire record set from the President's office (3 years worth) consists of 3
inches of correspondence between the President and the VPAA.  There is some
correspondence marked confidential (restricted to all but ) mixed in with
the daily activity
correspondence.  I could separate the two and physically house the
confidential stuff separately, or just return the items to the Pres. office.
BTW-I'm working on our transfer policies now, under normal circumstances
this material wouldn't be transferred to the archives for three years, but
since the new Pres. wants clean files...Any help, copies of policies,
comments, etc... would be appreciated.
