Series 3 - OISE/UT

2.40 m of textual and architectural records and publications

This series begins with files that Professor Lang’s broad activities within OISE/UT as recorded in his performance assessments, activity reports and course evaluations. There are followed by files on the Provost’s OISE Committee of the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, which include material on the first pass at the thorny issue of the possible integration of OISE into the University of Toronto. Most of the files relating to the Higher Education Group, with which Professor Lang was primarily associated at OISE, contain material spanning almost 20 years on examination questions.

The bulk of this series, however, relates to the merger of OISE with the U of T to create, in 1995, OISE/UT. Professor Lang’s personal work binders on the merger are present, as are legal and other documents on the merger, followed by implementation files, including those of the Academic Implementation Task Force and on the issues relating to OISE’s property. The series concludes with files on the OISE/UT Joint MPHEd program with the Faculty of Medicine (2003-2004).

The files are arranged largely chronologically within each grouping. They contain correspondence, memos, minutes of meetings, notes, drafts of reports, maps and architectural drawings.

Some files are restricted for 20 years from date of the most recent document in a file, to protect the privacy of third parties. See the file list in Appendix 2 of the finding aid, linked below.
