This committee considers Duke's policy on socially responsible investing and hears requests for divestment. Its charge includes monitoring trends and activities in investment responsibility that have an impact on educational institutional investors, conducting research, updating Duke's files on companies and providing analysis as requested, and making recommendations to the President on how to vote proxies when the committee believes proxies should be voted outside the standard protocol of "economic interest",whether to sponsor shareholder resolutions, whether to correspond with the management of corporations in which the University holds an identifiable equity position, when to divest, and any new issues. Meets on call.
GPSC selects one representative to this committee.
