The governance, control, jurisdiction, organization, and management of the University of Houston System is vested in its board of regents.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/regents/ |title=UHS - Board of Regents |publisher=University of Houston System |access-date=2008-06-26}}</ref> The board has all the rights, powers, and duties that it has with respect to the organization and control of the four component institutions in the System; however, each component institution is maintained as a separate and distinct university.

The Board consists of a chair, {{nowrap|vice-chair}}, secretary, and seven other members, including one student who serves a one-year term as regent. Every two years, the Governor of Texas, subject to the confirmation of the [[Texas Senate|Texas&nbsp;Senate]], appoints three members to the board of regents. Every member except for the student regent serves a six-year term. Responsibilities for members are specifically listed in the bylaws of the board of regents.

The chairman of the board of regents is [[Tilman J. Fertitta]], CEO of Landry's, Inc.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uhsystem.edu/board-of-regents/board-members/fertitta/index.php#Fertitta |title=Tilman J. Fertitta |publisher=University of Houston System |access-date=October 29, 2015}}</ref> Fertitta attended the [[University of Houston]], and was a student in the [[Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management|Hilton&nbsp;College]]. He was appointed to the board in 2009, and will serve through August 31, 2027—having been reappointed for an additional six-year term. <ref>{{cite web |url= https://uh.edu/news-events/stories/2021/october-2021/10212021-bor-appointments.php |title=Gov.

===Administration===
{{see also|List of Chancellors of the University of Houston System}}
The chancellor is the chief executive officer of the University of Houston System. The chancellor, appointed by the System's board of regents, has certain authorities that are specified in the regent bylaws.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uh.edu/about/offices/president/delegations/ |title=Chancellor/President's Delegations of Authority |publisher=University of Houston |access-date=2008-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080322210021/http://www.uh.edu/about/offices/president/delegations/ <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=2008-03-22}}</ref> The chancellor has the option to delegate responsibilities to others such as the vice-chancellor, university presidents, and university athletic directors. Such delegations are subject to the board of regents bylaws and UH&nbsp;System policies.

Since 1997, the UH System chancellor has been serving concurrently as the [[List of Presidents of the University of Houston|President of the University of Houston]]. Thus, the chancellor holds a dual role. As of January 2008, [[Renu Khator|Renu&nbsp;Khator]] has been the chancellor of UH&nbsp;System and president of the University of Houston.  The administration of the System is located in the [[Ezekiel W. Cullen Building]] on the campus of the University of Houston.

The Chancellor's official residence is known as the "Wortham House."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://info.lib.uh.edu/sca/digital/time/buildings_large.html?ID=83 |title=Wortham House |publisher=University of Houston Libraries |work=UH Through Time |access-date=2008-06-26}}</ref> The house was designed by [[Alfred C. Finn]], and built by [[Frank Sterling|Frank P. Sterling]] in 1925 as the "Sterling House." In 1948, the house was donated to the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Houston]], and later sold to [[Gus Wortham|Gus and Lyndall Wortham]] in 1951. Upon her death in July 1980, Lyndall Wortham donated the property to the University of Houston. The house, located in the Houston neighborhood of [[Southampton, Houston, Texas|Southampton]], serves as a facility for small functions or gatherings of the UH&nbsp;System.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=2008_4548973 |title=Dinner party dishes out praise, humor |author=Hodge, Shelby |date=2008-04-14 |work=Houston Chronicle |access-date=2008-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090725065313/http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive.mpl?id=2008_4548973 |archive-date=2009-07-25 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
