Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility
|
Mission
The principle mission of the Dartmouth College Advisory Committee on
Investor Responsibility (ACIR) is to study proxy resolutions relating to
important social issues and to make recommendations to Dartmouth College on how
it should vote specific proxy resolutions for U.S. companies in which the
College holds publicly traded shares. In addition, ACIR is charged with
making recommendations to Dartmouth College regarding: the desirability of
disclosing information regarding the College’s investment portfolio to its
constituencies; the process by which the College determines its position with
respect to proxy resolutions and the practices the College employs to express
its positions; the guidance, if any, that the College’s investment advisors
should be given to avoid selection of investment positions that could be deemed
inconsistent with Dartmouth’s mission; and the possibilities for education of
students and other interested parties regarding the goals and constraints of
the College’s investment portfolio.
ACIR meets throughout the year to accomplish its missions. ACIR meets
on a weekly basis from late March through May, the period during which most
proxy resolutions are voted upon, at which time it makes the great majority of
its recommendations. ACIR is in the process of developing guidelines so that it
can make voting recommendations to the College throughout the year.
