UC Office of the President (UCOP)
Appointed by and directly responsible to The Regents, the President is the
University’s chief executive. The President has full authority and
responsibility over the administration of all affairs and operations
of the University, excluding those which are the responsibility of
the Principal Officers of The Regents. All other officers of the
University, except the Principal Officers of The Regents, are
responsible to the President directly or through designated
channels.
Among the
President’s most notable functions are consultations with the
Chancellors and Academic Senate regarding the University’s
educational and research policies; recommendations to The Regents
concerning the academic plans of the University and the campuses;
the annual presentation to The Regents of a single operating budget
and a capital budget for the entire University (which includes
student fees and return to financial aid); and administrating the
Office of the President.
The Office of the
President is the University’s central administration headquarters.
Located in downtown Oakland, the Office performs administrative
functions of the University as a whole and provides support to all
campus operations. It is organized into six vice presidential
divisions: Academic Affairs, Business and Finance, University and
External Relations, Health Affairs, Laboratory Management, and
Agriculture and Natural Resources.
