The Chico State Administration is the group of people who, together under the direction of the Chico State President, manage the university. Many of these university employees are categorized as non-instructional faculty. That is, they are considered faculty, even though they do not necessarily teach any units.

Together with bodies such as the Chico State President's Cabinet, the Academic Senate (particularly the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate), the Deans Council, the Chico State Advisory Council and other less powerful committees, these people manage and direct the affairs of the university.
