A Board of Governors (BOG) appointed by the governor is responsible for oversight of the State System. The BOG appoints the chancellor and each university president, approves new academic programs, sets tuition, and coordinates and approves the annual State System operating budget. Additionally, each university has a Council of Trustees that serves as a policy-setting board for the university.
The president is the chief executive officer for the university and oversees the operations and governance of the university as delineated in Act 188, Section 2009-A.
