Direct any questions about this policy to your department’s supervisor. You may direct questions to the following departments concerning these specific issues:

Definitions

These definitions apply to these terms as they are used in this Policy:

Record: A record created by and maintained in any form/medium by Claremont McKenna College with administrative use for the unit that generated and/or is using it. Records remain active for varying numbers of years, depending on the purpose for which they were created and/or used. The unit or office that generates or uses a Record is responsible for managing the Record.
Archival Record: A College Record that: (i) is not an Active Record; and (ii) has permanent or historic value. Archival records are retained and preserved indefinitely in the College Archives.
College Archives[1]: The College Archives promotes knowledge and understanding of the College’s origins, aims, programs, and goals, and facilitates effective records management. This includes permanent retention of: (i) relevant College Records as well as reports of the College, its officers, and component parts; (ii) maps and architectural records; (iii) audiovisual materials including still photographs and negatives, motion picture film, oral history interviews, audio and video tapes; and (iv) artifacts and ephemera documenting the College’s history.
College Archivist: The individual responsible for i) coordinating which College Records are Archival Records; and ii) effecting the transfer of Archival Records from the office in which they originated or were received to the College Archives at such times and in the manner and form prescribed by the Archives and subject to the appropriate retention and disposition schedules that are outlined in this document.
Official Repository: The unit and/or individual designated as having responsibility for managing a particular type of record pursuant to this policy.

[1] As of September 1, 2015, the College does not currently maintain a formal College Archives program and does not have an Archivist. However, the College is considering possible approaches to implementing an Archives program. If you have any questions with respect to whether a particular Record may have potential historic value, please contact the Office of the Secretary of the College.

Overview

Introduction to this Policy

Claremont McKenna College requires consistent treatment of Records. Creation, maintenance, retention, disclosure, and disposal procedures for Records must be followed systematically by staff in compliance with this Policy. This policy is intended to ensure that the College:

meets legal standards;
optimizes the use of space;
minimizes the cost of record retention; and
preserves the history of the College.

Procedures

Responsibilities When a Record’s Retention Period has Elapsed

When Record’s respective retention period has elapsed, each unit’s administrative manager or a designee is responsible for determining, in consultation with the College Archivist where appropriate, whether the Record should be destroyed or transferred to the Archives.

Responsibilities Pertaining to Records That Are Not College Records

A Record (the “Definitions” Section of this document) is the original version or official copy of a document or datum that is generated or used by an administrative unit. If a Record is listed in this Policy, the original or official copy must be retained pursuant to this Policy.

Duplicate or multiple copies of Records, including electronic and paper copies in locations other than Official Repositories, should not be retained once they are no longer actively needed by the possessor. If you are not sure what qualifies as a Record, check with your unit’s administrative manager or a designee before disposing of it.

Responsibilities for Managing Records

Each unit’s administrative manager or a designee must:

Implement the unit’s and/or office’s record management practices;
Ensure that these management practices are consistent with this Policy;
Educate staff within the administrative unit in understanding sound record management practices;
Identify Records that qualify as Archival Records and transfer those Records to the College Archives. Any long-term restrictions on access permissions to an Archival Record should be documented at the time of transfer;
Arrange for the routine disposal of Records and other items that do not require retention, including those stored on computer hard drives and file servers; and
Recognize that in many instances, the unit that generated or is using the Record may or may not be the Official Repository for that Record.

If you have any questions about your responsibilities, contact the Office of the General Counsel, who will work closely with you to ensure understanding of this policy and implementation of these responsibilities.

Responsibilities of the Official Repository

Departments and units that manage Records are called “Official Repositories.” Official Repositories are responsible for establishing appropriate records management practices.
The Official Repository must ensure that access to confidential files is restricted.
If it has been determined that it is appropriate to dispose of a Record in accordance with the repositories’ records retention schedule, treat them in one of the following ways:

Recycle non-confidential paper Records.
Shred or otherwise render unreadable confidential Records.
Erase or destroy electronically stored Records.

Caution: Periodically review records generated and maintained in College information systems or equipment (including mainframe, cloud, mini, and micro computing/storage systems) to ensure that these requirements are met.

Records Retention: Location and Duration

The tables of Records Types, Repositories, and Durations below list the Official Repositories and how long these records must be retained.

Note: The designated Official Repository is generally responsible for determining where such records will be maintained (e.g., on campus or in remote storage).
Record retention periods may be modified by government regulation, judicial or administrative consent order, and/or private or governmental contract. Such modifications supersede the requirements listed in this policy. Suspension of record destruction required by any of these reasons will be accomplished by a notice sent out to affected units by the relevant Vice President.
Note: No document list can be exhaustive. Questions regarding the retention period for any specific document or class of documents not included in these tables should be addressed to the Office of the General Counsel.

Caution: Departments and units that are not Official Repositories and that retain duplicate or multiple copies of Records should dispose of them when they are no longer useful.

Effect of “Litigation Hold” Memoranda and Similar Documents

From time to time, the College may issue subject-matter specific memoranda (“Litigation Holds”) detailing additional and/or different retention requirements due to pending or threatened litigation, pending or threatened audits, and/or similar events. Such Litigation Holds must be strictly followed, and their provisions supersede any contrary provisions of this Policy.
