Administrative history
Under the 1891 Charity Commissioners Scheme, Regent Street Polytechnic established a Governing Body for the first time. Although there were no specific provisions for the office of President, this role was immediately filled by the institution's founder, Quintin Hogg. The President was also Chair of the Governing Body until 1962, thereafter the role was discontinued. A Director of Education was also appointed from 1891, this role became known as the Rector, and then from 1996, Vice Chancellor.
Court meets at least four times a year.
