Records Relating to Board of Hearing (1970-1980) | Saint Michael's College Archives & Special Collections

The Board of Hearing formed as a result of a resolution at the 1970 General Chapter.  It was in existence from 1970-1980 and provided a means for mediation and arbitration of conflict involving the exercise of administrative authority in the SSE.  It was set up as a safeguard against the possible misuse of authority.  There were 5 members of the committee, 2 appointed and three, a priest, a scholastic and a brother, elected.  It does not appear to have been particularly active during the ten years of its existence. The collection consists of general materials related to the board, including a detailed explanation of its charge and some correspondence.
