Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty
The Executive Committee of the Graduate Faculty (ECGF) consists of an elected faculty chair plus four representatives from each of the academic divisions of humanities, biological sciences, physical sciences, and social sciences. (The chair may be one of those representatives.) Faculty representatives are elected by their respective divisions for staggered two-year terms. The Dean and the Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs sit as ex officio members of the committee. The graduate faculty, which meets on call, depends upon the Executive Committee for the formation of policy with respect to graduate study at Duke University, as well as for other delegated responsibilities. The Executive Committee normally meets twice a month on matters affecting the Graduate School.
