A pro-vice-chancellor (or pro vice-chancellor) (PVC) or deputy vice-chancellor (DVC) is a deputy〔()〕 to the vice-chancellor of a university. In the older English universities, and Commonwealth universities following their tradition, PVCs were typically academics who took on additional managerial responsibilities for a limited time, alongside their regular teaching and research. However in the newer English universities (e.g. those that originated as Polytechnics), the post was usually a permanent one, and this is now the increasing trend among older universities also. Individual pro-vice-chancellors may be in charge of areas such as administration, research and development, student affairs, and academic and education affairs. In some universities, there are one or more deputy vice-chancellors subordinate to the vice-chancellor, with pro-vice-chancellor at an executive level ranking below deputy vice-chancellor. PVCs or DVCs are normally empowered to substitute for the vice-chancellor in both ceremonial and executive functions when he or she is absent from the university. 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 responsible for both an area of academic affairs and a regional area. The University of New England, Australia also has three PVCs (two deans and another academic) and a deputy VC (research). In the Federation University Australia, there are five deputy vice-chancellors and one pro-vice chancellor.〔http://federation.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/6988/FedUni-org-chart.pdf〕 In New Zealand universities, the term ''pro-vice-chancellor'' is sometimes used to denote senior executive positions equivalent to deans of colleges and schools in North American universities. In this case the term ''dean'' is normally reserved for academic administrative positions concerned with programmes and students. Most universities, however, use the term pro-vice-chancellor in the above sense. ==See also== *List of university leaders 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pro-vice-chancellor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
