Committee on Linguistic Institutes and Fellowships (CLIF)
History
In 1975, this Committee was constituted as a 10-member committee consisting of the LSA Vice President/President-Elect; Secretary-Treasurer; three individuals from the host institution; the past, current, and forthcoming Linguistic Institute directors; and two external members.
In June 1976, the Executive Committee voted to reduce the 1977 Linguistic Institutes Committee to seven members because of the costs of meeting in Hawaii. The 1977 Committee consisted of the LSA Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, current and forthcoming Linguistic Institute directors, and three local faculty. The 1978 Committee appointments reflected the format devised in 1975. At its spring 1978 meeting, the Executive Committee appointed seven members for the 1979 Committee because of the costs of transportation. The Committee for 1980 was also appointed at that time and consisted of the LSA Vice President/President-Elect, Secretary-Treasurer, the 1980 Linguistic Institute director, three members of the local host faculty, and two external members. In 1981, the size of the Committee was again reduced due to increased cost.
Beginning with the 1982 Institute, the Committee consists of the LSA Vice President/President-Elect, Secretary-Treasurer, the immediate past and forthcoming Institute directors, and one local faculty member.
