History

In 1976, the Board of Trustees named Joseph Volker as the first chancellor of the System.

In 2018 and 2019 the system claimed to have conducted a "national and international" search for a chancellor to take the position left vacant by the sudden retirement of Ray Hayes. No finalists were announced before long-time board member and interim chancellor Finis St John IV was offered the permanent position along with a substantial increase in compensation.
