This report and policy is the product of an ad hoc committee of Academic Council, which was established to study those policies and procedures which might be necessary to govern challenges to the Library's holdings. This matter came into being as a result of a challenge involving the book THE HOAX OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY by A. R. Butz. The ad hoc committee was chaired by faculty member John Cook.This sub-series does not contain an actual copy of the Cook Report as the latter can be readily found in other sources in the Archives Collection. See, for instance, RG 5.146 ("Hoax Of the Twentieth Century" general file); the minutes of meetings of the Learning Resources Committee (RG 59); and the minutes of meetings of Academic Council (RG 57).The challenge process and library materials selection procedures were revisited five years later, with a new challenge by faculty member Winston Husbands. See RG 5.197 for further information.
