The Board of Regents

Governance of the University is entrusted to a corporation called The Board of Regents. Of the individuals composing the board, 18 are California citizens appointed by the governor; and seven, including the president of the University and the governor of California, serve ex officio. A Student Regent is selected each year from a list of names submitted to the board by the Student Body Presidents’ Council.

The Regents have delegated authority in academic matters to the Academic Senate of the faculty, which determines academic policy and supervises the instructional activities of the entire University. All of the permanent faculty, as well as key administrators, are members of the Senate.

The Regents have delegated authority for the organization of the University to the president. Robert C. Dynes is president and head of the Universitywide administration. Authority for the administration of each campus has been delegated to a chancellor.
