I was going to say "Vice Chancellor", "Pro-Chancellor", or "Provost",
depending on context.

Of course, we only know of the "political leader" meaning of {Qang}, and
there's no reason why the Klingon word for Chancellor should also mean
"head academic official" as it does in English.  From Star Trek VI, it
seems that the Klingon Chancellor is equivalent to the Federation
President.  So, maybe {QangHom} is the head of a planet, house, {Sep}, or
some political division within the Klingon Empire, rather than of the
entire thing?
