The University Task Force on Child Care was appointed by President Keith Brodie in 1988 and chaired by Dr. Paula Burger, Vice Provost for Academic Services. Its charge included the consideration of issues regarding child care and the establishment of a child care facility for Duke University faculty, staff, and students. The task force was dissolved by Dr. Brodie in 1990. Later that year, he created the University Committee for Family and Child Care Issues.
The collection includes minutes, correspondence, reports, audiocassettes, and printed material documenting the creation and organization of the task force and its study of child care issues at Duke University. Reflected in the records are the task force's consideration of various child care alternatives, the gathering of data and opinions from the University community, cost analyses, and its recommendations to the officers of the University. The establishment of the Children's Campus, Duke University's child care facility is documented in the records.
