The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center President’s Cabinet consists of the provost, chief officers, vice presidents, and deans. The cabinet exists to advise the president on any subject the president may require relating to the duties of each member’s respective office or division; assign tasks to and consider recommendations from HSC councils; and serve as the approving body for university policies and institutional-wide matters.
The president chairs the cabinet, with the executive chief of staff acting as vice-chair. The assistant vice president for university strategy from the office of the president, serves as the cabinet secretary.
The cabinet meets regularly each month.
