			Administrators and Administrative Committees The Department is administered by members of the faculty and a staff of full- and part-time office personnel. The Chair is nominated, by faculty vote, to the Vice President of Arts and Sciences, on whose recommendation the President of the University appoints the Chair. The usual term is three years. A Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) is appointed by the Chair. The DGS appoints other faculty to help administer the graduate program: an Associate. Director, Placement Officer, and members of the CGE. (Advanced students in Comparative Literature are supervised by the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society.) The Committee on Guidance & Evaluation (CGE) is responsible for the general academic review of all students in the Department. With the DGS as chair, it takes up individual petitions and problems, as well as larger issues of policy and planning. Members of the Committee are chosen to reflect a wide range of academic interests. The Graduate Student Council (GSC), which includes all graduate students, nominates 2 or 3 student members to attend CGE meetings, except when issues concerning individual students are to be discussed. They have a voice in the discussion but no vote.
