Thank you Chiquipaisa
agree William [Bill] Gray : This is OK for a professorial joint head, since there is probably only one other. But if there are several, the word "joint" is better: for example, "Joint Chiefs of Staff" would never be "Co-Chiefs". Main idea for both is that there is more than one head

True joint is much better for multiples. I havn't heard of three department heads in academia, so thta's why i didn't recommend it. I look at the co- more as being equals.Good point made though.
