Shenzhen University
The governing board is the highest administrative body of the university. The chairman of the board is the vice-chancellor of CUHK, currently Rocky S. Tuan. The board consists of 16 members, with eight nominated each by CUHK and Shenzhen University respectively. The president of CUHK-Shenzhen is responsible for the management of CUHK-Shenzhen under the leadership of the Governing Board. This main structure of administration is chosen due to the limitations of the laws for "Chinese-Foreign Cooperation in Running Schools". In 2013, the governing board appointed Professor Yangsheng Xu to be the first president of CUHK-Shenzhen.
