English term or phrase: Chancellor, Principal and Vice Chancellor
Al pie de un título universitario (BA) aparecen dos firmas, la del "Chancellor" y la del "Principal and Vice Chancellor". Según veo, los cargos equivalentes en castellano son "Rector" tanto para el uno como para el otro. ¿Cómo podría diferenciarlos, puesto que deben ser dos también en la traducción del título?

Asker: Perdón por el despiste, por supuesto que sí existe el cargo de Director de Universidad. Por alguna razón me sonaba mal... Un saludo.
