Corporation Joint Advisory Committee on Institute-Wide Affairs (CJAC)

The purpose of CJAC (established in 1969) is to associate with the Corporation a representative group at MIT to provide advice on special Institute-wide matters requiring Corporation attention, and to report annually to the members of the Corporation.

The committee provides an additional means for bringing student and faculty representatives into regular communication with the Corporation on matters of long-range importance to the MIT community. CJAC also serves to acquaint the MIT community more fully with the role and responsibilities of the Corporation.

CJAC consists of up to 20 voting members, including:

  • Four ex officio members: the MIT Alumni Association President; Chair of the Faculty; Undergraduate Association President; and Graduate Student Council President;
  • Up to seven additional members of the Corporation, one of whom may be a non-voting emeritus member;
  • Five additional members of the faculty; and
  • Two undergraduate students selected by the Undergraduate Association and two graduate students selected by the Graduate Student Council.
