I mean, I'm all for vice, but wouldn't want it in my job title.
No, the head of a university is just the vice-chancellor. Below him/her there is a deputy vice-chancellor, and then (at Loughborough) three pro-vice-chancellors, one for research, one for teaching, and one for enterprise. It is important to promote vice in every aspect of the university's work.
