Administration
Office of the Chancellor
Be they from members of our administration, our faculty and staff, or even our students, the successful operation of the University requires the contributions of a variety of unique individuals.
UCR’s current leader is Chancellor Timothy P. White. He is assisted in the day-to-day operations of the University by Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Ellen Wartella.
UC Riverside’s administrative organizational structure features five vice chancellors whose offices oversee specific areas and who report directly to the chancellor. These are:
- Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Planning & Budget
Under the direction of Gretchen Bolar, the office oversees the day-to-day financial operations of the University. - Office of the Vice Chancellor for Administration
Under the direction of Al Diaz, the office oversees 20 separate departments and services involved with day-to-day non-academic operations. - Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research
Under the direction of Dr. Charles Louis, the office oversees a variety of campus research centers and research units and assists with research funding and grant proposals . - Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
Under the direction of James Sandoval, the office oversees UCR’s large and diverse student-body and the more than 30 programs that provide resources to aid students' personal, academic and professional growth. - Office of the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement
Under the direction of Susan A. Harlow, the office enhances public awareness of UCR's achievements and generates financial resources for the University.
The Academic Senate serves as the representative body for the UCR faculty. By definition, all faculty are members of the Academic Senate, with officers coming from a variety of backgrounds across campus. The Senate is responsible for the selection and ratification of courses, admissions conditions and faculty members. The Senate also advises the chancellor and campus administrators on some of the most critical decisions made at UCR.
Independent from the other bodies is the Office of Campus Counsel. From advice in developmental policy to conflict resolution, the Campus Counsel provides continuing legal guidance to UCR’s leadership.
