National University System Management Group
The System Management Group provides various services to the System's affiliated institutions. The Group is responsible for identifying and making institutional acquisitions, coordinating the institutions, providing services to the institutions, and ultimately guiding the strategic direction of the System and the institutions.
Officers of the System Management Group
With the increased complexity of the System, the staffing of the System has been expanded to include various officers who report to the Chancellor.
Chancellor
The Chancellor is the chief executive officer of System Management Group and is responsible for providing executive leadership, including planning, coordinating, and administrating all academic and non-academic functions for each institution in the National University System.
Vice Chancellor for Pre-College Programs
The Vice Chancellor for Pre-College Programs reports to the Chancellor and is responsible for providing leadership for the National University Virtual High School and the System's pre-college initiatives.
Vice Chancellor for Marketing and System Advancement
The Vice Chancellor for Marketing and System Advancement reports to the Chancellor and is responsible for guiding the continued extension of the reputation and image of the National University System and its affiliates.
General Counsel
Because of the growing size and complexity of the National University System, the position of General Counsel has been created within the System. The General Counsel reports to the Chancellor and advises the Board of Trustees of System Management Group and Boards of Trustees of all affiliated institutions about claims or significant legal issues that have impacted, or may impact the National University System or the affiliated institutions. The mission of the General Counsel is to provide, manage, and coordinate all legal services for the System, to minimize legal risks and costs, and always to do so efficiently, reliably, and professionally.
System Affiliate Chief Executives
The Chancellor convenes meetings on a regular basis with the chief executives of the System entities. They are also invited to attend meetings of the National University President's Cabinet. The System chief executives attend National University's annual planning retreat in August, where they participate in the planning sessions with National University administrators and faculty leadership.
