"President of the University and Director of the Information Sciences Department."

I graduated from the University of Texas and this is how we refer to the "rector."

In Scotland and in Spain (well Valencia anyway) it is Rector and he/she is elected by the staff and students.

Student Participation

There is ample scope for student participation in University government, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. All matriculated students of the University have the right to vote in the election of a Rector who holds office for a three-year period and chairs the University Court. The Rector appoints an Assessor who is also a member of the University Court and is usually a student.

In addition, the University Court has in recent years co-opted to its membership the President of the SRC (Student Representative Council). There are student representatives on the Senate and the Academic Council. Students also have representatives on a wide range of University committees. The SRC itself exists to represent students on all matters and is the recognised channel of communication between students and the University authorities.
