Editing Academic administration (section)

====Presidents and chancellors====

In the United States, a college or university is typically supervised by a [[University president|president]] or [[Chancellor (education)|chancellor]] who reports regularly to a [[board of trustees]] (made up of individuals from outside the institution) and who acts as [[chief executive officer]]. Most large colleges and universities now use an administrative structure with a tier of vice presidents, among whom the [[Provost (education)|provost]] (or vice president for academic affairs, or academic dean) as the chief academic officer. Although the demographic picture of university leadership is changing, the majority of academic administrators remain middle-aged white men.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Morris |first1=Tracy L. |last2=Laipple |first2=Joseph S. |title=How prepared are academic administrators?
