Pro-Vice-Chancellor
Encyclopedia : P : PR : PRO : Pro-Vice-Chancellor
In a university, an assistant to a Vice-Chancellor is called a Pro-Vice-Chancellor (also Pro Vice-Chancellor or Deputy Vice-Chancellor). These are sometimes teaching academics who take on additional responsibilities. Some universities (e.g., Macquarie University) also have a full-time Deputy Vice-Chancellor. In some universities, there are several Deputy Vice-Chancellors subordinate to the Vice-Chancellor, with Pro-Vice-Chancellor being a position at an executive level ranking below Deputy Vice-Chancellor.
In the National University of Ireland, each president of the constituent universities (being University College Dublin, University College Cork, National University of Ireland, Galway and National University of Ireland, Maynooth), holds the title of Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the NUI, though they generally only use this title at conferring ceremonies.
In the Australian Catholic University, there are three Pro-Vice-Chancellors, each one resposnble for both an area of academic affairs and a regional area.
