Regional Development Officers in the Office of University Advancement. The university also

University’s Policy on Campus State Relations Officers

Mr. Adcock reminded the members that the responsibility for representation of

the University to all governmental bodies is assigned to the President of the University, as

specified in the Code. In spelling out the specific role of campus state relations officers, Mr.

Adcock said the chancellors are asked to designate, in consultation with the President and the

Vice President for Public Affairs, a campus state relations officer who would report to his or her

campus supervisor (either the chancellor or a vice chancellor). The Vice President for Public

Affairs would provide input into the evaluation of the state relations officers in matters dealing

with governmental relations.
