The English department is governed by a Chair assisted by a number of standing committees and department officers. The department's governance is structured by a Policy Manual (being revised 2008-2009). Some committees seat both undergraduate and graduate-student representatives who are nominated by faculty. The Department also houses a number of projects or centers with their own directors.
