UC Merced developed a governance and decision-making framework for the Merced 2020 Project consistent with campus priorities.
The Merced 2020 Project Board was advisory to the Chancellor and charged with ensuring the campus and the project to meet their overarching objectives. The board provided timely decision making, and acted as a check-and-balance on competing campus interests. The board also proactively managed any organizational changes necessary for UC Merced to be 2020-ready.
