Abstract: The Maurice Glicksman Provost Files includes office files and documents relating to Maurice Glicksman's role as Provost of the University from 1978-1990. Although the collection ranges from 1954-2000, the majority of files come from 1960-1990. This collection also includes some of Glicksman's research and classes before and during his time as Provost. A substantial part of the collection is from Glicksman's position on the Admininstrative Committee on Academic Development (ACAD) and the Administration Committee on Appointments and Promotions (ACAP), his role on the Academic Council and the Universities Research Association, and his interactions with various University intiatives and institutions - including departmental affairs and staffing plans.

In addition, this collection contains restricted files pertaining to the legal affairs of the Univesity during Glicksman's time as provost.
