DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLORS

The positions of Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) have been created to ease of the immense responsibilities statutorily vested on the Vice-Chancellor who naturally needs to be assisted in performing his duties. The Deputy Vice-Chancellors are expected to support and complement the Vice- Chancellor in both the academic and the administrative duties and the responsibilities of ensuring an efficient, orderly and democratic University system properly positioned for attainment of set goals. By law, both Deputy Vice-Chancellors are also members of the Governing Council as well as the Senate and the Management Committees and are elected by Senate following nominations by the Vice-Chancellor.
