Abstract
This paper recognizes the increasing effect, actual and potential, that a range of legislation has upon university activities. It focuses on an analysis of the legal and formal basis to the office of vice-chancellor, the chief executive officer in (Australian) universities. This analysis is pursued through a survey of government and institutional legislation affecting the office. While precedent and convention are found to be influential, the study questions whether they have sufficient acceptance outside universities, in the face of possible legal action, to ensure continuity of the values upon which universities operate.
