Comprehensive Standards 3.2.2: Governing Board Control The legal authority and operating control of the institution are clearly defined for the following areas within the institution's governance structure:
NARRATIVE: The legal authority and operating control of the University of South Florida St. Petersburg are clearly defined in Florida statute and in the institution's operating procedures. Institutional Mission At the state level, the Florida Board of Governors has the responsibility to operate, regulate, control, and manage the State University System, including defining the distinctive mission for each institution [1]. Florida Statute 1004.01 [2] defines the overall mission of the system of education within the state. At the USF System level, Florida statute 1001.74(14) [3] charges the Board of Trustees with the development of a strategic plan [4] that outlines the university's mission and specific goals and objectives consistent with that mission. The current mission statement of USF St. Petersburg [5] was approved by the USF St. Petersburg campus board on February 24, 2003 [6]. Fiscal Stability Florida Statutes regulate the financial operations of the state universities. FS 1010.01 through 1010.11 - general accounting requirements; 1011.40 through 1011.52 prescribe the budget process; 1011.90 through 1011.94 describe funding; and 1010.30 and 1010.33 provide audit requirements and procedures. At the institutional level, the USF System President is responsible for the operation and administration of the university pursuant to Florida Statutes 1001.74 and 1001.75. In 2002, the Florida Legislature established that USF St. Petersburg shall "be operated and maintained as a separate organizational and budget entity of the University of South Florida and that all legislative appropriations" [for the campus] will "be set forth as separate line items in the General Appropriations Act" [7]. The campus prepares its own Legislative Budget Request and Capital Improvements Plan. The USF St. Petersburg campus board is responsible for approval of the budget and submits to system. Institutional Policy Florida Board of Education Rule 6C-9.013, F.A.C. establishes authority for auxiliary enterprise operations to furnish goods or services primarily to students, faculty, or staff and that charge a fee directly related to the costs of good or services. USF St. Petersburg has the authority to establish and publish policies and procedures distinctive to the institution's mission [8]. Regulation of fiscal matters in the public universities of Florida, including USF, is governed by Section 1010 of the Florida Statutes. For example, in the case of state universities, 1010.01 through 1010.11, Florida Statutes, state the general accounting requirements; 1011.40 through 1011.52, Florida Statutes, prescribe the budget process; 1011.90 through 1011.94, Florida Statutes, describe funding; and 1010.30 and 1010.33, Florida Statutes, provide audit requirements and procedures. Related Foundations The USF Board of Trustees monitors the operations of Direct Support Organizations as authorized by Florida Statute 1004.28 [9] and pursuant to Rule 6C4-13.002 of the Florida Administrative Code [10], which specifically addresses USF. Direct Support Organizations are certified by the Board to operate in a manner consistent with the goals of the university and in the best interest of the state. They are organized for the benefit and furtherance of the University’s mission.
