In May 1969, the Johnson was appointed Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance. The Administration Office was inactive and its functions were managed by Johnson and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance until 1972.

From 1972-1980, the Administration Office and was headed by Bernard Sisco, Vice Chancellor for Administration. In July 1980, Sisco accepted an appointment as special assistant to UC President David Saxon. Herman D.

Kennedy would serve as head of the office until 1993, at which point John Woods would assume the Vice Chancellorship until 2006.
