Talk:List of chancellors and vice-chancellors of British universities

message: If this is going to be limited to universities, then let's put that in the title. Given the number of universities there are, this should be separated by country. --Jiang 20:56, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: And in the US, the President and not the Vice-Chancellor is usually in charge. The table format is unnecessary and unhelpful. --Jiang 18:10, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)

text: Same for Canada...the Chancellor is just a symbolic position. She hooded me at graduation, or whatever it is that happened there, but the President does all the real work. Adam Bishop 01:58, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, the Chacellor may be unimportant but they are the symbolic leader of the university. I see 3 options, and others may see more
1 - Just have symbolic leader
2 - Just have real leader (the person who does most of the work
3 - List both, and tell the reader of the difference.
I like the third because then they get the most amount of information quickly. Burgundavia 23:28, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
The third option sounds best. Although the chancellors job is symbolic, if you look at the list there are some pretty famous chancellors (half the UK's ones are celebrities) so it is of interest Dmn 09:27, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Criticisms (Concerning Lack of Relevance To University Power Structures)

message: Surely this should be moved to UK universities? Having the Open University on this list is factually incorrect, as it is a national university, not regional. I thought rather than delete it, the page should be renamed to encompass the UK.
:It does encompass the UK. Proteus (Talk) 22:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  British? 

message: This list is very much a WP:NOTDIRECTORY compilation. Looks like the current chancellors, and ignores those in the past. (How much more not directory can we get?) Past (and present) chancellors should simply be listed in the articles for the individual institutions.  – S. Rich (talk) 04:12, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It had been stated on this article that Reeta Chakrabarti is a visitor of York St John University. However, that is incorrect. She was the Chancellor designate prior to The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu's retirement so I have now updated it to state that she is in fact the Chancellor.
