#40037 RECORDS OF THE PLANNING COUNCIL/SELF STUDY in the University Archives and Records Service University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Wilson Library, CB# 3926 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514-8890 July 1992 The Planning Council was established in April 1974, just after the completion of a University Self-Study made for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Evaluation Committee visit in March. The Council's purpose was to draw up, along with the University Priorities Committee and the Advisory Planning Board, a five-year plan for the University covering the period 1975 to 1980. The Council was headed by C. Hugh Holman, who was made a Special Assistant to the Chancellor for this purpose. He had served as Chairman of the Self-Study Steering Committee since its formation in April 1972. By the time the five-year plan was completed in October 1974, the University realized that planning should be a continuing process. Chancellor Ferebee Taylor, therefore, asked the Planning Council to continue indefinitely. Professor Holman would be its chairman as well as the Director of University Self-Study. Under Holman's leadership, which lasted until December 1978, the Council published three more five-year plans, covering the periods ending June 30, 1981, 1982, and 1983. It also issued subsequent plans covering later periods. The Planning Council was disbanded in 1984 with the creation of the position of Assistant to the Chancellor for Planning, which now has responsibility for this function. This records group is made up primarily of the Planning Council's records from Professor Holman's tenure as chairman, 1974 through 1978. It includes the planning reports issued by the Council from 1974 through 1982 as well as reports from self- studies conducted by the University as part of its accreditation process in 1964, 1974, and 1985. There are also some files relating to the University Priorities Committee and the Advisory Planning Board. An inventory of these records will be found on the pages following.
