Kenneth Alan "Buzz" Shaw (born January 31, 1939) was the 10th Chancellor and President of Syracuse University.

Born in Granite City, Illinois, Shaw received his bachelor's degree from Illinois State University, his masters from University of Illinois and his doctorate from Purdue University. Shaw taught at Rich Township High School in Park Forest, Illinois. He then taught at Illinois State University and did administrative work. Prior to becoming Chancellor and President of Syracuse University, Shaw served as Chancellor of Southern Illinois University and President of the University of Wisconsin System.[1]

He is the author of more than 40 articles dealing with higher education and leadership.
