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, consistent with its Bylaws.

The Board is a self-perpetuating body consisting of at least 45 trustees but no more than 55, 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 five-year terms except for the President, the Rector of the Jesuit Community, and the Chair of the Board of Regents, who serve by virtue of their offices. The recent alumnus/alumna trustee's term is three years.
