In accordance with the charter granted to the University by the State of California in 1855, the Board of Trustees holds full legal power and responsibility for the operation of the University.

The Board is a self-perpetuating body consisting of at least 45 trustees, of which 10 positions will be held by Jesuits. One of the Jesuit positions is always the President of the University and another by the Rector of the Jesuit Community at Santa Clara University.

All members serve for three-year terms except for the President and the Rector of the Jesuit Community who serve by virtue of their offices.
