Academic known for a single incident shooting (WP:BLP1E). Vice Chancellor is not top post at this University (WP:PROF Note #6). Green Cardamom (talk) 04:56, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The New York Times article says that vice chancellor is "the equivalent of an American college president" - in other words, the top post. There is some question about the spelling of his name: One reference gives it as S. Patuwatawithana Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to University of Moratuwa Vice Chancellor is not the top post. However I found Past Presidents & Vice-Chancellors of University of Moratuwa which suggests it is top post. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok the Chancellor position is mainly ceremonial/political, the duties are carried about by the Vice which is the effective head of the school. Confirmed by the NYT piece. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:17, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw Meets WP:PROF #6 per above. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 07:17, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
