mostly to accomplish student-facing administrative processes such as admissions, student records, complaints, and graduation. Professional associations The overarching body for all staff working in administration and management in the UK is the Association of University Administrators. United States Presidents and chancellors In the United States, a college or university is typically supervised by a president or chancellor who reports regularly to a board of trustees (made up of individuals from outside the institution) and who serves as chief executive officer. Most large colleges and universities now use an administrative structure with a tier of vice presidents, among whom the provost (or vice president for academic affairs, or academic dean) serves as the chief academic officer. Remuneration of presidents and chancellors The ten highest-paid administrators at private colleges earn an average of about $2.5 million per year, while at public colleges the figure is $1.4 million. These figures includes both base pay and other income. Deans Deans may supervise various and more specific aspects of the institution, or may be CEOs of entire campuses. They may report directly to the president or chancellor. The division of responsibility among deans varies widely among institutions; some are chiefly responsible for clusters of academic fields (such as the humanities or natural sciences) or whole academic units (such as a graduate school or college), while others are responsible for non-academic but campus-wide concerns such as minority affairs. In some cases a provost supervises the institution's entire academic staff, occupying a position generally superior to any dean. In other instances the Dean of a College may be the equivalent to a Provost or Vice Chancellor or Vice President for Academic Affairs. Below deans in the administrative hierarchy are heads of individual academic departments and of individual administrative departments. These heads (commonly styled "chairs" or "directors") then supervise the faculty and staff of their individual departments. Departmental Chairs The Chair of a department is typically a tenured or at least tenure-track faculty member, supported by administrative staff. Administrative staff All levels of the university have administrative staff, reporting to Chancellors, Presidents, Provosts, Deans, and Departmental like gollis university who have a number of different schools like school of business, economics and social science school of ICT, school of AGRO-VET, school of Engineering and school of medicine is example of Somaliland universities.
