The Zago-Agopyan slate received the highest number of votes from the electoral college, which was convened on December 19, 2013; the college comprises members of the University Board, the Central Councils and Congregations of its schools and colleges, and the Deliberative Boards of its museums and specialized institutes. The winning slate garnered 1,206 votes and topped the list of three sets of names submitted to the governor, who has the ultimate say in the decision. Zago, 66, was dean of research under the administration of Pres. Jo\u00e3o Grandino Rodas and full professor at the Ribeir\u00e3o Preto School of Medicine (FMRP-USP), from which he graduated. He was also clinical director of the Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas and scientific director of the Hemotherapy Center, both in Ribeir\u00e3o Preto.

From 2007 to 2010, he chaired Brazil\u2019s National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) and established the National Institutes of Science and Technology (INCTs). He also served as one of the area coordinators of FAPESP\u2019s Office of the Scientific Director, which is a committee of recognized experts that is responsible for coordinating the merit review of applications to the Foundation. The new vice president, Vahan Agopyan, is an engineer and a full professor at the Polytechnic School (Poli\/USP) and holds a doctorate from King\u2019s College London.
