Board of Trustees

The legislature also mandated a Campus Board for each of the following USF System institutions and campuses: USF St. Petersburg, USF Sarasota-Manatee and USF Polytechnic. The members of each Campus Board are appointed by the USF Board of Trustees.
The 13 trustees include distinguished figures in the law, commerce, medicine, education, philanthropy and public policy leadership. Six trustees are appointed by Florida’s governor and five trustees are appointed by the Board of Governors. The Faculty Senate President and Student Body President also serve as trustees. The University of South Florida System President and President of the University of South Florida serves as Corporate Secretary.
