GovernanceThe USM is governed by a board of regents and led by a chancellor, who serves as the CEO of the university system and leads the USM Office. USM Board of Regents and ChancellorA 17-member volunteer Board of Regents, including one full-time student, governs the University System of Maryland.[6] Appointed by the governor, the regents oversee the system's academic, administrative, and financial operations; formulate policy; and appoint the USM chancellor and the presidents of the system's 12 institutions. With the exception of the student member, each regent is appointed for a term of five years, and may not serve more than two consecutive terms. The student regent is appointed for a one-year term, and may be reappointed. Regents serve on the board without compensation.[7] USM chancellors
USM OfficeThe USM Office, led by the system chancellor, is the staff to the Board of Regents. Staff members advocate on behalf of the 12 USM institutions, facilitate collaboration and efficiencies among the institutions, and provide information about the system to the public.[8] With leadership from the USM Board of Regents and the chancellor, the system office coordinates academic programs, assists with long-range planning and resource management, facilitates private fund raising, and provides financial stewardship. The system office is headquartered in Baltimore and has locations in Adelphi, Annapolis, and Columbia. HistoryThe University System of Maryland was created in 1988 from the merger of University of Maryland (UM) and Board of Trustees of State Universities and Colleges (BTSUC).[9] Strategic PlanIn 2010, USM launched a 10-year strategy to increase the state’s economic competitiveness—and thereby improve Maryland residents’ quality of life—by increasing college completion rates, fueling the state’s innovation economy, adopting new ways of teaching, reducing costs and achieving efficiencies, and elevating USM’s national and international eminence.[10] After taking office as USM chancellor in 2015, Robert L. Caret led a mid-term update of the plan. "The USM through 2020: A Renewed Vision for Powering Maryland Forward" revises several original goals and creates a new initiative to support campus equity, diversity, inclusion and civic engagement. This update precedes the development of a new strategic framework, which is expected to be unveiled in 2020.[11] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.usmd.edu/institutions/ |title=USM Institutions - USM |publisher=Usmd.edu |date= |accessdate=August 14, 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.usmd.edu/usm/chancellor/ |title=Office of the Chancellor - USM |publisher=Usmd.edu |accessdate=August 14, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.usmd.edu/about_usm/ |title=About USM - USM |publisher=Usmd.edu |date= |accessdate=August 14, 2014}} 4. ^http://www.usmd.edu/usm/chancellor/speeches/2018AnnualReport.pdf 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.usmd.edu/cai/|title=Welcome to USM Center for Academic Innovation - USM Center for Academic Innovation|website=www.usmd.edu|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.usmd.edu/regents/|title=Board of Regents|first=University System of Maryland|last=Office|website=www.usmd.edu|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2010/education/title-12/subtitle-1/12-102/|title=2010 Maryland Code :: EDUCATION :: TITLE 12 - UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF MARYLAND :: Subtitle 1 - Powers and Duties :: Section 12-102 - Board of Regents - Government of University; members.|website=Justia Law|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.usmd.edu/usm/|title=USM Office|first=University System of Maryland|last=Office|website=www.usmd.edu|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/25univ/system/html/systf.html|title=University System of Maryland - Origin & Functions|website=msa.maryland.gov|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.usmd.edu/10yrplan/|title=University System of Maryland Strategic Plan: What’s New for 2018|first=University System of Maryland|last=Office|website=www.usmd.edu|accessdate=February 14, 2019}} 11. ^https://www.usmd.edu/10yrplan/USM-through-2020-Strategic-Plan-Update.pdf External links{{Portal|Maryland|University}}
