Mr. Johnson did a great job at SOSU and the school saw a lot of improvements under his leadership.

I think the risks of having too low a salary for the Chancellor are higher than the risks of having too high a salary. The regents are an autonomous body, and a state legislator has no business telling them how best to manage the state system. Perhaps if the legislature appropriated the necessary amount to Higher Education this would not even be an issue. I think Representative Thomsen is highly misguided. Before criticizing expenditures of the regents he could at least advocate meeting the request of the regents for proper funding!
