provost
University senior official
A provost is a high-ranking administrative official.
In American universities, the provost is typically the chief academic officer, overseeing curriculum, faculty, and educational policy—second to the president.
In British contexts, a provost may head certain colleges or be a church official.
In Scotland, provost historically meant the chief magistrate of a town, similar to a mayor.
