WHO'S WHO AT RUTGERS

The University is comprised of various departments, offices and centers. While the policies and procedures that govern the University and how it works differ greatly than those that define private industry, structurally they are similar. The major differences arise when dealing with budgets: procurement of merchandise, the employment process, funding, etc. The Standards for University Operations may help illustrate how things are done at Rutgers.

Administration and Academics

The University is effectively broken down into two branches. The Administrative branch consists of departments that support the operation of the institution. The Executive Vice President for Administrative Affairs oversees the Administrative branch. The Academic branch is made up of the various departments, units and centers that provide the teaching function within the institution. The Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs oversees th Academic branch. With the exception of the Office of the President, all departments, administrative or academic, fall under the charge of the University Administration. Please refer to the organizational charts for a complete organizational break down of the University structure.
