The responsibility of records management falls on all persons within any organization. These responsibilities include maintaining properly ordered files, which can be called upon to be produced as part of their day to day job duties. Each department head, who is responsible for all employees within their jurisdiction, must insure that records are properly organized and that they meet their responsibilities to those records. Specific duties and responsibilities include:
1. Determining what records are produced and housed in their respective departments.
2. Determining if their records are permanent or non-permanent using the records retention schedule.
3. Identifying vital records and establishing procedures for their protection.
4. Destroying records in accordance with the published disposition schedules.
5. Arranging with the University Archivist transfer of permanent historical records.
