Satellite campuses[edit]
The University of Chicago also maintains facilities apart from its main campus. The university's Booth School of Business maintains campuses in Singapore, London, and the downtown Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago. The Center in Paris, a campus located on the left bank of the Seine in Paris, hosts various undergraduate and graduate study programs.[60] The University of Chicago also opened a center in Beijing in fall 2010.
Administration and finances[edit]

The University of Chicago is governed by a board of trustees. The Board of Trustees oversees the long-term development and plans of the university and manages fundraising efforts, and is composed of 50 members including the university President.[61] Directly beneath the President are the Provost, fourteen Vice Presidents (including the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer, and Dean of Students of the university), the Directors of Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab, the Secretary of the university, and the Student Ombudsperson.[62] As of August 2009, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees is Andrew Alper,[63] and the President of the university is Robert Zimmer.
The university's endowment was the 13th largest among American educational institutions and state university systems in 2012[64] and as of 2012 was valued at $6.571 billion.[2]
