Chancellor

A chancellor is a leadership role in various organizations, most commonly a head of a university or a government official in some countries. In universities, the chancellor acts as a ceremonial figurehead, representing the institution and overseeing traditions, while the day-to-day management is handled by the university's vice-chancellor or president. In government, a chancellor may be a senior official, such as a finance minister or head of a particular department. The specific responsibilities and significance of a chancellor vary depending on the context and country.
