The State University System of Florida (SUS, or SUSF out-of-state) is a system of universities governed by the Florida Board of Governors. Prior to 1905, the system was governed by a Board of Education and even earlier variations thereof, reaching back to the Florida Constitution of 1838 wherein a system of higher and normal education was established, based on grants of land from the U.S. Congress. From 1905 to 1965, the few universities in the system were governed by the Florida Board of Control. This was replaced by the Florida Board of Regents in 1965, to accommodate the growing university system. The Board of Regents governed until it was disbanded in 2001, and its authority was divided between the Florida Board of Education (which was given some authority over all levels of public education in the state), and an appointed Boards of Trustees, which operated independently for each separate institution. In 2002, Floridians led by U.S. Senator Bob Graham passed an amendment to the state constitution establishing a new statewide governing body, the Florida Board of Governors.

Tuition differential

During Florida's 2007 Legislative Session, Governor Charlie Crist signed into law SB-1710 which allowed the Florida Board of Governors to charge Tuition Differential of 40% above and beyond the regular in-state undergraduate tuition rates for the University of Florida and Florida State University. In addition the University of South Florida was allowed to raise its rates 30% above and beyond the regular in-state undergraduate tuition charges. This was allowed because these three institutions reached Research Flagship benchmarks that the other universities in the State University System could not achieve.

In 2008, in lieu of receiving increased research funding in excess of $100 million, the Tuition Differential was allowed to now include the University of Central Florida and Florida International University. These two institutions were allowed to raise their in-state undergraduate tuition rate 30% above and beyond the regular tuition rates. This legislation ultimately created a multi-tier system for higher education in Florida's State University System.

In 2009, Governor Charlie Crist and the Florida Legislature passed an even broader tuition differential for all of the institions within the State University System of Florida. The new provision allows for a 15 percent annually tuition increase for in-state undergraduate tuition until they reach the national average.

The expanded tuition differential is not covered by the Bright Futures Scholarship Program, and the stipulation states that 30 percent of the added revenue must go to need-based student financial aid. This legislation was passed due to severe budget restrains caused by the Florida economy.
