PART II.

UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION

III. University Policy

The chancellor, as the administrative and executive head of East Carolina University, exercises the authority and responsibility assigned to him or her in Chapter Five of The Code of the University of North Carolina. Subject to the policies of the board of governors and the direction of the president of The University of North Carolina, the chancellor and the board of trustees establish policies for the institution. In establishing policies, the chancellor receives advice from the administrative staff, the Graduate Assembly, the Faculty Senate, administrative and academic committees, and the Student Government Association. The chancellor delegates administrative responsibility to the five vice chancellors as described in Part VIII of the Faculty Manual. The planning, development, and administration of university policy are achieved by close interaction of the administrative organization and the faculty policy-making organization.
