Is being an early American women vice chancellor actually notable?
I think the mention of the vice chancelorship is more misleading than informative. The US system normally does not have vice chancelors. When they do exist, they are very different than the vice chancelors in the British system. They are not the effective heads, but are assistants to chancelors, who are the actual heads. In some cases the title is held by multiple people at the same institution. In the same way most US universities are headed by presidents, who are normally assisted by multiple people who hold the title vice president. Provost is the only title in the US system that there is almost always only one of at any institution, but not all US institutions have provosts. Even provosts are not as important as vice chancelors, in large part because in the US system the president, chancelor or what ever title they hold is the effective head. The one exception is in some systems when you have both a chancelor and a president at different levels (and which is higher is not consistent, some state universities, like the University of North Carolina have a chacelor over all campuses and each campus has a president, in other cases like hte University of Michigan there is a president over the 3 campus system, and chancelors underneath him. At UofNC each camus has a president, but at UofM, the main campus does not have a chancelor, and in fact the president almost completely focuses on that campus. The main point is vice chancelor is not a regular existing title enough to making holding it in any way of note in the US.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:20, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
