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.
