Engineering Degree
It's on a French (France) engineering Degree: "Le Président du Comité de Direction et le Directeur Général de l'Ecole Supérieure X... certifient que..." and then both sign at the bottom of the document.
I was thinking of "Chairman of the Board of Directors" for the former and "the Director General" for the latter, but was wondering whether "Chairman of the Board of Faculty" might not be better, and... can the "Directeur Général" be the "Dean"?
Thanks in advance for your help.
The degree was delivered by a French "Grande Ecole", not a university.

Hi, I'm basing this on
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/president/welcome.html
and
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/regents/about.html
This answer is "not-for-points", as I am the editor [and principal] for Katia's job. She posted her question on my advice after lengthy research, and this morning I came up with this after *additional* lengthy research, and this is what I am using in the final version [hate these jobs!].
US EN was required as it is the clent's corporate policy.
***KATIA, please add these terms to the Glossary [this option is presented when you come to award points/close the question***
Thank you very much for your help.

Usually these terms are used in a school of higher education such as colleges, universities so forth. These schools are usually broken down into sub schools ie Law School; Medical School, etc.
Many high schools which may be run by a religious entity (such as a church) will also have one person who takes care of administrations and another who actually is a principal.
