Policy and Administration
The League's policy governance consists of district-wide committees, as well as the State Executive Committee that interprets the rules, settles disputes between different UIL districts and disputes which arise past the district level. The SEC also conducts investigations and hearings of alleged violations, and hears appeals. The Legislative Council retains oversight on all rules and and has delegated authority from the Commissioner of Education to approve rule changes.
UIL Administration
The UIL is administered by the Executive Director and various support staff. Many contests are directed by University of Texas at Austin faculty who teach in the area of the contests they direct.
