The UT Southwestern University Archives works with the Asset Management Division of Supply Chain Management to ensure the proper retention of records. UT Southwestern Medical Center recognizes the need for orderly management and retrieval of official state records and for a documented record retention and destruction schedule congruent with all state and federal laws and related regulations. All records (paper, microform, electronic—including all electronically stored information or ESI—or other media) will be retained for the minimum periods identified in the UT Southwestern Records Retention Schedule as approved by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and by the Texas State Auditor's Office, in compliance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 441.
