Administration

The University Administration is the entity that controls and regulates (or attempts to, sometimes rather farcically, control or regulate) every non-academic aspect of life at the University of Massachusetts. (The Faculty Senate controls the academic side of the University.) Occasionally kind and competent, occasionally mean and inept, but always very bureaucratic; professors and departments may come and go, students might matriculate and graduate, but the Administration is eternal.

[edit] Structure

The Chancellor is the head of the Administration. He has several officials and departments who report to him:
