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 a minimum of 35 trustees but no more than 55. At least seven of the Trustees positions will be for Jesuits, including the Rector of the Jesuit Community at Santa Clara.

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.
