Sé que suena fatal, pero no se me ocurre otra opción puesto que el "provost" es el vicerrector de ordenación académica. Un saludo.

Bueno... doy por sentado que la traducción es para España. Si no, la terminología sería distinta.

vice provost
vice decano


Explanation:
De acuerdo a la información en wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provost_(education), un "provost" es el jefe de un "college" (=facultad) y responsable ante el rector (i.e. president or chancellor), por lo tanto es el decano de una facultad.

disagree  Steven Capsuto: That's the job of a provost of a British university. In the U.S., a provost is the university's chief academic officer. (Even the Wikipedia article you cite acknowledges this.)
