Records Management

Because Willamette University recognizes the need to effectively manage its dynamic organization, and preserve its history, we are committed to the retention and disposition of its records in order to:

1. document our management decisions
2. provide historical references of transactions and events
3. demonstrate regulatory compliance, especially with Oregon state and federal laws
4. enhance our organization's operational efficiencies
5. provide litigation support
6. preserve the university's institutional memory

Willamette University holds to a Records Management Policy with regards to the retention and archiving of university records. The relevant forms and schedules are accessible with a valid Willamette University sign-in.

If you have any questions, please contact Danita Chapin, Director of Risk Management at dkchapin@willamette.edu or 503-375-5443. Use this form to transfer appropriate records from your department or office.
