Youngstown State University Records Management Mission

In compliance with Section 149.33 of the Ohio Revised Code, Youngstown State University, by the authority of its Board of Trustees, has established a records management program under the jurisdiction of the President’s Office and University Archives & Special Collections for the purpose of insuring proper scheduling, storage and disposal of university records. Records Retention for Public Colleges and Universities in Ohio: A Manual (Inter-University Council of Ohio, 2000) will be used as the basis for Youngstown State University’s records management program. This program is designed to reduce the number of non-current records occupying expensive office space, eliminate unnecessary duplication of records between offices, offer a systematic method of records destruction and create an awareness of documents with a permanent archival value. This blog was created to provide a forum for questions and feedback on our records program. To use this blog effectively, first click and read Records Management: Getting Started, then the complete mission and policy statement. For further information, please contact the University Archives.
