Workgroups
The business of the Board of Trustees is conducted through four workgroups composed of Trustees, administrators, faculty, staff and USF Foundation representatives. These workgroups focus on the University’s attainment of institutional goals the Board adopted on December 6, 2001. Workgroups will review and recommend policies to enhance the USF System’s effectiveness and efficiency in attaining these goals, and periodically will assess the effectiveness of the University in implementing the policies of the governing board.

- Finance and Audit - focuses on USF System financial affairs including operating and capital budgets, legislative budget requests, investment policies, fees, advocacy before state and local governments.
- Health - reviews and recommends to the Board policies for enhancing the University’s academic and clinical services within USF Health.
