What Is the "Clean Up Our
Act" Campaign?
In 1998 a "clean up our act campaign" was launched which
utilized a five step approach (purging non-record materials, inventorying
of records, assessing the value of records, taking action and acknowledging
achievements) to improve control over University records.
The purpose of this campaign is to "clean up" the records
of the University in order to achieve maximum effectiveness and
efficiency in the use of information resources in support of achieving
our strategic objectives and preserving an historical record of
the University's past.
The basic premise upon which this project is based is the idea that
the records, which we all create in the course of performing the
business of the University, represent a valuable resource needed
for the ccomplishment of work tasks, the provision of quality service
to our customers, accountability and transparency to sponsors and
donors, and sound decision-making.
The objectives of the project are accomplished by gaining basic
control over the records of the University residing in administrative,
faculty and department offices.
