Florida Board of Governors
The Florida Board of Governors is a 17-member board serving as the constitutional governing body for the State University System of Florida, which includes all public universities of the state of Florida.
The Florida Legislature abolished the Florida Board of Regents, the predecessor of the Florida Board of Governors, in July 2001, with governor Jeb Bush signing the act into law. Former governor of Florida and then United States senator Bob Graham (D-FL) opposed the decision and led a ballot initiative to restore the statewide higher education body. In 2002, voters approved a Florida constitutional amendment championed by Graham. The Board of Governors was established in 2003 as a result. The establishment of the Board of Governors is part of the Constitution of Florida and can only be abolished through another constitutional amendment.
The Florida Board of Education, also appointed by the governor, oversees K–20 education and community colleges.
During the 2022–2023 academic year, the State University System enrolled 349,921 total students, and it is the second largest state university system in the United States, after the California State University system.
The Florida Board of Governors has seventeen members, including fourteen voting members appointed by the governor, as well as the Florida commissioner of education, the chair of the Advisory Council of Faculty Senates, and the chair of the Florida Student Association. The board appoints a chancellor, who serves as the system's chief executive.
In January 2016, the State University System launched a statewide communications and marketing campaign to build and bolster the state's entrepreneurial climate - Think Florida: A Higher Degree for Business. The campaign's focus is a strong connection between the system's universities and Florida's businesses, with an emphasis on collaboration in the areas of talent, research and partnerships.
The Board of Governors unveiled a performance-based funding model in 2014 to incentivize universities to improve on key metrics, from graduation rates to post-graduation success.
The model has four guiding principles:
