How is FSI governed?
The FSI Faculty Committee (formerly the FSI Executive Committee) is the institute’s governing body. Its members represent faculty at the institute’s research centers and programs, and meet regularly to address appointments and other institute business. The FSI Steering Committee is advisory to the Director on matters relating to the institute’s management, growth, and development. The members of the institute’s Advisory Board, which meets twice a year, fill a crucial role in the life of the institute by becoming informed advocates of FSI, both on and off the Stanford campus. The Board serves as a bridge between the world of scholarship and the worlds of policymaking, industry, and the nonprofit sector. It plays an important role in FSI’s development efforts, by identifying sources of funding for its new and existing programs.
