Spanish term or phrase: Rector General - de la unidad
En un diploma de universidad (México), dice: "Rector General", opuesto a "Rector de la unidad". Esta universidad está compuesta por varias unidades (independientes en cuanto al método de enseñanza). Cada unidad tiene un "Rector de la unidad", mientras que el "Rector General" es el jefe máximo de la universidad y "jefe" de los demás rectores de la unidad.

¿Cómo traducirían "Rector General" y "Rector de la Unidad"? Sugerencias:
- Main Rector - Unit Rector
- General Rector - Rector of the Unit of "XXX"

¡Agradezco anticipadamente su ayuda!

Chancellor or President; Dean
Explanation:
I think these would be like the Chancellor or President (supreme head of the university) and the head of each unit or school, who would be the Dean.
