The Chancellor is appointed by the State Board of Education and serves at its pleasure.

Qualifications for the post of Chancellor include academic and professional education equivalent to graduation from a recognized university or college, knowledge in post-secondary institution administration, training sufficient to qualify one to perform the duties of that office, and good moral character. The salary of the Chancellor is established by the State Board of Education. The Board also is authorized to provide an expense allowance to the Chancellor in whatever amounts and for whatever purposes deemed necessary and appropriate. The office of Chancellor is not subject to requirements of the state merit system.
