UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION
The University is governed by a board of 13 members, six selected
by the state Legislature and seven self-perpetuating life members, in accord
with the will of Thomas Green Clemson. The Board of Trustees is primarily responsible
for adopting the long-range objectives of the University and the basic policies
for achieving them; providing policy instruction for long-range planning; adopting
the statutes of the University; electing the president of the University; employing
the secretary of the board; maintaining ownership of University assets; and
overseeing the evaluation of the University.
The president is the chief executive officer of the University,
providing leadership to all phases of University planning; coordinating the
operations of all units of the University; carrying out major University public
relations functions; evaluating the results of University plans; and appointing
personnel who report to the president. The day-to-day operations of the University
are administered by the president and executive officers for advancement, public
service and agriculture, and student affairs.
The Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs is the chief
academic officer of the University. The Provost is responsible directly to the
president for all academic matters and has administrative jurisdiction over
teaching and computing services. Vice provosts assist in administering and performing
duties in coordinating graduate and undergraduate curricula; supervising computer
information services, the libraries, scholarship and award programs; and other
duties assigned by the provost.
Academic deans are the chief administrative officers of their
individual colleges and report directly to the provost. They provide leadership
in formulating and carrying out educational policy, review and make recommendations
on personnel matters, and carry out and administer the academic and financial
affairs of their colleges.
