The Academic Senate Office supports both the Davis Division of the Academic Senate and the Academic Federation. The Academic Senate is a legislative organization to which the UC Regents have delegated authority to establish, revise and maintain curricula, instruction, course approval, and admissions policy. The Senate is comprised of the Representative Assembly and more than 30 standing committees. Many of the committees have statutory authority and as such the committee's deliberations and work lead to establishment/revision of campus policy and procedure that directly impact the university.

All standing committees have official advisory authority fulfilling the UC Regents requirement for formal faculty counsel/advise concerning campus academic personnel, budget, resource and research principles, policies and procedures. All standing committees are assigned analysts to manage the committee's work and provide immediate, current and historical policy information and guidance. All committees and the analysts interact daily with campus and UC senior administrative offices.

The Academic Federation is the only UC organization of its kind and represents 17 academic titles (non-Senate, non-staff titles) and works closely with the Academic Senate. The Academic Federation has 15 active committees supported by the Academic Senate Office.
