The Administration and Finance Division is charged with fulfillment of the financial, operational, technological, and physical plant needs of the University. A stewardship role is found in the essential day-to-day operations. This Division is committed to providing the best possible services to the faculty, staff, and students of this institution.

 

As a state-supported institution of higher education, the University receives the majority of its operational funds from state appropriations. By being a public institution, the functions of this Division are being continuously scrutinized by outside governmental agencies. Thus, planning is a way of life in this Division. Ongoing assessments come from compliance with state laws, state audits, the state’s budgetary and appropriation process, and state oversight authorities. In addition, this institution and this Division must also comply with policies, rules and regulations set forth by federal and state agencies, the UH System Board of Regents, the UH System Administration, and the President’s Cabinet. UH System Internal Auditors and the user community are continually providing feedback on this Division’s operations.

The Vice President for Administration and Finance is appointed by the University of Houston System Board of Regents upon the recommendation of the President of the UH-Victoria campus. The Vice President reports to the President. The functional organizational chart indicates the functional breakdown of each major area.
