System Management Councils
The University of South Florida Board of Trustees (BOT) is the public body corporate created by Article IX, Section 7 of the Constitution of the State of Florida to administer the University of South Florida, a system comprised of two separately accredited institutions:
USF Tampa, including USF Health, USF Sarasota-Manatee and USF Lakeland;
USF St. Petersburg.
System management councils provide forums for communication across the university to ensure system-wide consistency and efficiency in decision-making and planning.
System management councils have been established to ensure communication and inclusion of stakeholders across the university on substantive matters. System management agendas may include program planning, system-wide processes, federal and state legislative updates, identifying potential partnerships and opportunities, and updates on relevant topics.
System management councils serve an important function in support of the University of South Florida Board of Trustees governance process. System Management Councils will review proposed action items on BOT workgroups agendas which have either a fiscal or programmatic impact on more than one college, institution or campus.
System Management Councils include:
Other university-wide councils and committees that contribute to the system include, but are not limited to:
