Governance
The University of South Carolina System is governed by the Board of Trustees who oversee the overall management of the system. The Board of Trustees is composed of a total of twenty members. Of the members, sixteen are chosen by the General Assembly, three are ex officio members, and one is appointed by the Governor of South Carolina.
A President is appointed by the Board to serve as the chief executive officer of the system and to manage with the day-to-day affairs of the campuses. In addition, the President is tasked with long-range planning of the system and recommending improvements to the Board of Trustees. Each senior campus is administered by a chancellor and each regional campus is managed by a dean, all of whom report directly to the President. The duties of the chancellor at the Columbia campus are encompassed by the office of the President.
Both the Board of the Trustees and the President have offices in the Osborne Administration Building, at the northeast corner of The Horseshoe. The Board of Trustees meets every other month and the President delivers a yearly state-of-the-university address in the Longstreet Theater.
