Vice-Chancellor

So long as the Chancellor was normally resident, as the Statutes required him to be, Vice-Chancellors were appointed only to act in his absence. When, from 1504, the Chancellor was a non-resident magnate, the election of a Vice-Chancellor took place regularly each academic year, his term of office starting on 1 November. From 1884 to 1889 he held office from January to December, and from 1889 to 1989 from 1 October, the beginning of the academic year. Vice-Chancellors from the early sixteenth-century were normally Heads of Houses, and from 1587 to 1992 invariably so, and from the mid-nineteenth century normally held office for two successive years. Professor Sir David Williams, first elected in 1989, was in office when the main recommendations of the Wass Syndicate came into force in 1992 and, having been the last Vice-Chancellor elected on an annual basis, proceeded to be the first Vice-Chancellor under the new dispensation whereby the office is a permanent one for up to seven years. Under the new statutes the Vice-Chancellor can no longer be a Head of House but may hold a college fellowship. Until 1992 the Vice-Chancellor was elected (by the Senate, and later by the Regent House) on the nomination of the Caput Senatus (or, from the 1850s, of the Council of the Senate). The appointment is now by the Council. The Vice-Chancellor is the chief executive officer of the University. The dates given below are those of election.

Copcot was the last Vice-Chancellor until 1992 not to be a Head of House at the time of his election. In the entries from 1587, therefore, only the college is given.

 Pro-Vice-Chancellor

Established by grace 1 of 15 May 1991 and a ballot in which the Regent House decided that the number of Pro-Vice-Chancellors should be limited to one, who could be any member of the Regent House, whose tenure would be three years and to whom would be allotted a specific area of responsibility. Sir Sam Edwards was accordingly made responsible for 'matters relating to scientific research across the university, including collaborative projects in Europe'. A report of the Council of the Senate, dated 24 January 1996 recommended increasing the number of Pro-Vice-Chancellors to two, their duties to be assigned by the Vice-Chancellor 'as at present', and their tenure not to exceed three years, thus allowing an incoming Vice-Chancellor to appoint new Pro-Vice-Chancellors on taking up office. This report was graced on 23 February 1996.
