Chancellor


Explanation:
Io userei Chancellor.
Principal credo si usi nelle università tipo Oxbridge che funzionano con il "collegiate system", mentre il resto delle università in UK, the 'regular' ones, hanno un Chancellor.

Ad esempio la mia università (Newcastle) ha un Chancellor.

Fuori dal sistema collegiate, Principal mi ricorda troppo il liceo.

Negli Stati Uniti invece, credo si usi prevalentemente President invece di Chancellor.
