GRE care: THE GRE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
THE GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS (GRE) BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) Board was formed in 1966 as an independent board and is affiliated with the Association of graduate schools (AGs) and the Council of Graduate schools (CGs) The Board establishes all policies for the GRE program, which is administered by Educational testing service® (ETs®) . In addition, ETs provides information, technical advice, and professional counsel to the Board and develops proposals to achieve its program, research, and service goals GRE Program activities include testing, research, publishing, and advisory services . These services are designed to assist graduate schools and departments in admission, guidance and placement, program evaluation, and selection of fellowship recipients and to assist students with their transition to graduate education
The GRE Board is mindful of the impact of its testing, information, research, and services on students, institutions, and graduate education, and it recognizes its obligation to ensure that its policies and activities serve the best interests of the entire graduate education community. The GRE Board strives to equalize higher education opportunities for all students, improve the practices, procedures, and quality of graduate education, and promote maximum utilization of human talents and financial resources The GRE Board consists of 17 appointed members: four AGS appointees, four CGs appointees, and eight at-large appointees of the Board . In addition, the president of CGS is an ex-officio member of the Board
There are five standing committees of the GRE Board: (1) the Executive Committee, which is empowered to make interim decisions and set the agenda for board meetings; (2) the Research Committee, which establishes long-range planning strategies related to research, considers proposals for new research, monitors the progress of all research projects, and allocates designated GRE Board funds for research projects; (3) the Services Committee, which monitors all GRE operating services, maintains a close relationship with graduate students and faculty, and identifies long-range planning strategies involving the development of new services; (4) the Minority Graduate Education Committee, which considers new program services and long-range planning strategies for minority students, monitors ongoing minority- related GRE programs (including the Fee Waiver Program and the GRE Search Service), and evaluates research proposals and ongoing research projects that affect minorities; and (5) the Finance Committee, which considers and makes recommendations for action on all GRE budget and finance issues
