Governance

The Linguistics program is administered by the Executive Officer, assisted by the Deputy Executive Officer and the Executive Committee, which is composed of elected students and faculty representatives. The Executive Officer and Deputy Executive Officer serve on all the committees in the Program. The Executive Officer serves ex officio and the Deputy Executive Officer is a non-voting member. The Executive Officer chairs all standing committees, except the Admissions and Awards Committee, which is chaired by the Deputy Executive Officer. Membership in all committees is restricted to tenured or tenure-track faculty and matriculated students.

The bylaws of the Linguistics program and Graduate School Governance require at least one yearly meeting/town hall of the Program membership at which the Program committees report on their activities. This meeting/town hall will be at the end of the academic year. In addition, such meetings may be held at any other time at the request of the Executive Officer or the members of the Executive Committee.
