2020-21 Administration
University of California Administration
The governance of the university is entrusted, under the state constitution, to the Regents of the University of California. The Board of Regents is presently composed of 18 members who are appointed by the governor of California, subject to California State Senate confirmation; seven members who participate because of the offices they hold; and a student member appointed by the board.
The president of the university is the chief executive of the 10-campus system. He or she is appointed by the Regents and is directly responsible to them.
Each of the 10 campuses of the university has a chancellor, its chief administrative officer, who is responsible for the organization and operation of the campus, including academic, student, and business affairs.
The Academic Senate, consisting of the faculty and certain administrative officers, determines the conditions for admission and degrees, subject to the approval of the Regents; authorizes and supervises courses and curricula; and advises the university administration on important matters such as appointments and promotions, budgets, student discipline, and administration of the library.
