 Series — cartons: 12-15
Identifier: Series IV

Scope and Contents

This series covers the three years that Lee served as the Chancellor of the University of California San Francisco. He became Chancellor in February 1969 and served during a very volatile and dynamic period before resigning at the end of 1972 in order to start the Health Policy Program (which later became the Institute of Health Policy Studies). These materials are divided into several subseries: Correspondence, Speeches, Articles, Subject Files. There is extensive chronological official correspondence, some personal correspondence and correspondence with professional groups and organizations. The majority of this correspondence consists of carbon copies of outgoing correspondence. There are also speech and article files, though not as extensive as in the DHEW series. The subject subseries documents Lee's extra-chancellery interests, including evaluation of medical programs for the Ohio Board of Regents and Harvard University and work on a Public Health Service Hospital Conversion Project. Correspondence includes information on the organization of the Sun Valley Symposia, as well as his continuing interest in health policy issues along with his chancellery duties. Major internal (UCSF) issues addressed include budget, long-range planning, staffing, and curriculum issues. Of special interest are Lee's attention to the question of minority admissions and the creation of affirmative action policies on campus. Lee was also chancellor during a time of national turmoil. Issues connected to the Vietnam war, war protests, Kent State are treated in letters and speeches. There are also reports Lee received connected to the Public Health Service Hospital Conversion Project.
