UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ADVISORY COUNCIL
The University System Advisory Council has the power to make recommendations to the Chancellor and through him to the Board of Regents regarding educational and administrative matters of concern to the University System. Membership is composed of the Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor, and the Presidents of the 34 institutions. The Council holds at least one regular meeting each quarter with special meetings held upon the call of the Chancellor. The Advisory Council has both academic and administrative committees which formulate recommendations to be presented to the Advisory Council for consideration. Those matters originating with academic committees are first considered by the Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs prior to consideration by the Advisory Council.
Membership on academic committees is limited to one representative per institution offering work in the field with which the committee is concerned. Administrative committees are of two types: those in which representation consists of one representative from each institution and those with selective representation which are appointed by the Chancellor (Institutional Effectiveness, Research, Testing, Transfer of Credit, and Graduate Work).

UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
The purpose of the Student Advisory Council (S.A.C.) is to provide a forum for communication and recommendation among students enrolled in University System institutions and the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, state government, and the public, concerning problems and issues in student-related areas. Membership is composed of one elected officer from each of the institutions. The S.A.C. meets at least once annually and works closely with an advisor from the Chancellor's staff as well as the Chancellor. The Council also meets annually with the Board to present a report of its activities and recommendations.
