The president has charged several university committees with engaging the campus community and providing strategic counsel. Members of these committees include faculty, students, staff, alumni, and trustees, appointed by the president for limited terms.
The Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility is a university body advisory to the President with the following functions:
- To serve as a forum for members of the Duke community to bring forward issues of societal concern related to the investment of the university’s assets;
- To create opportunities for members of the Duke community to debate, discuss, and learn about issues brought forward to the committee, so the committee can determine if any recommendations to the president are required;
- To advise the executive vice president on proxy votes on the direct investments held by DUMAC, Inc.;
- In rare cases, to advise the president on issues of investment divestment; and
- To make public the substance of its discussions and any actions in a timely manner.
