Universities don't have chairman, that is for companies and committees, for example. They have presidents and deans. What university is this anyway? The title is suspicious looking. Anyway, languages and letters. My research shows this to be Grenoble....

Dear JLR, I said it is in France in someone's answer. Why is title suspicious looking? Dean is the best word, that's it. It just did not come to me. Can you put it in an answer?

Chancellor/President of the Univérsité des Langues et Lettres (mention city/town)

My comment:

Without seeing the actual university, I'd suggest keeping the French name and include the location. Unless the school has an official name in English. I'd use Chancellor for UK, President for US

I'd seriously suggest spelling the Fr word for university correctly however. Université (accent aigu just on the final e). oops

Ok Phyllis, sorry, should have noticed. University concerned is in France and I need an English rendering, thank you; thought President was strange, Chancellor is better but will see other answers, thank you
