Governance Improvements: Fall 2026

We are reviewing roles, responsibilities, decision-making structures, and accountability across the System Office, institutions, presidents, and Board of Regents, with the goal of establishing a clearer, more effective, and more accountable governance framework.

System Office Leadership Engagement

Jul–Aug 2026

System Office senior leadership participated in a Roles, Responsibilities, and Decision Rights workshop focused on clarifying responsibilities, reviewing decision-making and accountability structures, and identifying opportunities to strengthen coordination among the Board, Chancellor, presidents, and System Office. This work is informing the development of a clearer governance and decision-making framework.

Presidential Engagement

Oct 2026

An in-person governance session with the presidents is planned to review the proposed approach, discuss roles and responsibilities across the System, and obtain institutional input before recommendations are finalized.

Board Consideration

Dec 2026–Jan 2027

Following engagement with the presidents and additional refinement, we expect to bring forward a proposed governance framework and implementation approach for consideration by the Board of Regents.
