university chancellor

Campus head honcho

The head of a university, though the role varies significantly by country and institution.

In American universities, the chancellor is typically the chief executive officer responsible for administration and operations.

In British universities, the chancellor is often a ceremonial figurehead—a distinguished public figure who presides at graduations—while the vice-chancellor handles actual leadership.

The chancellor announced a new fundraising campaign.
