The University Senate nominates members to and works with a number of other University governance bodies, including -
- The Advisory Committee on Socially Responsible Investing (ACSRI) advises the Trustees of Columbia University on ethical and social issues that may arise in the management of investments in the University’s endowment. Following a Columbia-wide call for applications in spring, the Student Affairs Committee nominates students to four seats on the committee. ACSRI members serve two-year terms, meeting monthly from September to February and weekly from March to early-May. (Applications are open to students enrolled in the 17 Columbia schools only.)
- The Presidential Advisory Committee on Sexual Assault (PACSA) is charged with advising the President on issues related to the prevention of and response to gender-based misconduct, including sexual assault. The Student Affairs Committee nominates three student members - one student senator, one undergraduate student, and one graduate student - early in the fall semester. Members serve two-year terms.
