The Academic Senate represents university faculty and is empowered by the Regents to decide academic policies, including approving courses and setting requirements for admission, certificates and degrees.
The Office of the President is the systemwide headquarters of the University of California, managing its fiscal and business operations and supporting the academic and research missions across its campuses, labs and medical centers.
