Southern Illinois University appoints new chancellor Shaw
Southern Illinois University's new chancellor Kenneth Buzz Shaw earns 65 000 a year, exceeding the governor's 58 000 by 1980. Shaw noted salary was not the main reason for joining SIU Edwardsville, as higher pay still places him behind some SIU and state officials while topping others. He previously held roles at Towson State University and SIU Edwardsville, with his appointment marking a substantial raise since July 1979.
