 * Keep Vice-Chancellor (i.e. most senior academic) at two universities. Mccapra (talk) 04:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep As far as WP:NACADEMIC, I'm not sure if Vice Chancellor would qualify as the highest position, because there is a chancellor above him, however as I understand it in the British system which India follows the Vice Chancellor is effectively the head of the university. I also found media mentions of Mittal here, here, and here. His paper "An analysis of linkage between economic value added and corporate social responsibility" (which can be found here) has over 300 citations, including in a number of what appear to be established and reputable journals.

 * Keep - Above arguments are correct, vice-chancellor is actually the head of the university. The chancellor is merely the figurehead. Sort like a governor-general v prime minister situation in Australia, the GG is a figurehead, the PM is actually running the country. Australian National University for example has Julie Bishop, a former minister, as chancellor. However she is just the figurehead, the VC runs the university.
