History

An academic advisory board to the School of Advanced International Studies was established when the school was established in 1943. The name has changed several times over the years, but the essential functions of the body remained the same. The membership consists of the president and provost of The Johns Hopkins University, the Dean of SAIS, the Director of the Bologna Center, and faculty representatives. In January 1958, President Milton S. Eisenhower sent a letter to Dean Philip W. Thayer which defined the duties of the Academic Board:

The Academic Board of the School of Advanced International Studies is the advisory group of the school which gives critical and continuing attention to educational matters, and, when necessary, submits recommendations to the President of the University for his approval or for action by the Board of Trustees. These matters will include maintenance of University academic standards, changes in the academic program, appointments to the academic staff, academic promotions, and questions of educational policy. The Board should meet at least twice each semester, and oftener on the call of the Chairman.
