The '''State University System of Florida''' ('''SUSF''' or '''SUS''') is a [[State university system|system of twelve public universities]] in the U.S. state of [[Florida]]. As of 2018, over 341,000 students were enrolled in Florida's state universities.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://flbog.edu/documents_meetings/0199_0974_7281_4.3.2%20SPC%202014-15_System_Accountability_Report_Summary.pdf|title=System Accountability Report Summary|access-date=September 24, 2018}}</ref> Together with the [[Florida College System]], which includes Florida's 28 [[community colleges in the United States|community colleges]] and [[state university|state colleges]], it is part of Florida's system of public [[higher education]]. The system, headquartered in [[Tallahassee]],<ref>"[http://www.flbog.org/contact/ Contact Us]." State University System of Florida. Retrieved on August 26, 2011. "Florida Board of Governors State University System 325 West Gaines Street, Suite 1614 Tallahassee, Fl 32399-0400"</ref> is overseen by a chancellor and governed by the [[Florida Board of Governors]].

The Florida Board of Governors was created in 2003 to centralize the administration of the State University System of Florida. Previously, Florida's State University System had been governed by the [[Florida Board of Regents]] (1965–2001) and the [[Florida Board of Control]] (1905–1965).

==History and governance==
Prior to 1905, Florida's state institutions were governed by a Board of Education and even earlier variations thereof, reaching back to the [[Florida]] Constitution of 1838 wherein higher education and normal education was established, based on grants of land from the [[U.S. Congress]]. From 1905 to 1965, the few universities in the system were governed by the [[Florida Board of Control]]. The Board of Control was replaced by the [[Florida Board of Regents]] in 1965, to accommodate the growing university system.

The Board of Regents governed until it was disbanded by the [[Florida Legislature]] in 2001, and its authority was divided between the [[Florida Board of Education]] (which was given some authority over all levels of public education in the state), and appointed university boards of trustees, which operated independently for each separate institution. In 2002, Floridians led by U.S. senator [[Bob Graham]] passed an amendment to the [[Florida Constitution]] establishing a new statewide [[Governance|governing body]], the [[Florida Board of Governors]].
