Warning
Do not follow the records retention schedule to destroy records that are currently part of–or you are aware that they are going to be part of–any legal action or proceeding, litigation, audit, investigation, or review. For more information, see the Subpoenas for University Records Policy.
These many include texts, slide presentations, or recordings of speeches and presentations.

Notes
Most departments and offices produce many copies of speeches and presentations. Departments and offices should determine which copy is the official copy and manage it accordingly. All other copies are unoffical copies and should be managed accordingly.
