Abstract

The Office of Federal Affairs represents The Johns Hopkins Institution on issues directly impacting the university's mission such as student financial aid, research regulation and funding, and health care policy. This collection consists of subject files on various activities of the Federal Affairs Office relating to federal law and policy from circa 1991 - circa 1997.

Arrangement

This collection has not been arranged; files have been listed in the order in which they appear.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

These records were transferred directly from the Office of Federal Affairs (formerly the Office of Federal Relations).

Appraisal

One file of information was removed from the collection and destroyed in June 2015. This was done because the contained information that would require long-term restriction and was determined to be of limited historical value. The file contained information about a B-2 Visa request for the fiancee of a prospective faculty member, and included confidential information about the faculty member's terms of potential employment.

Accruals
