More than 110 people have served as vice‐chancellors of Australian universities, but very few of them have written about the role of the vice‐chancellor and how they themselves shaped and experienced it. In this paper a serving vice‐chancellor considers first the way in which his lime is allocated for a variety of recurring activities, and then considers the role of vice‐chancellor from a political science perspective. A vice‐chancellor is seen t…
