In some academic or administrative contexts, one of two or more persons serving jointly as a rector or director of an institution.
From the prefix 'con-' (together, jointly) combined with 'rector' (from Latin 'rector,' meaning ruler or director); a medieval and early modern term for shared administrative leadership.
Universities in medieval and Renaissance Europe often had conrectors sharing power, which was sometimes a clever way to prevent any one person from becoming too powerful—though it probably also meant lots of disagreements about curriculum and budgets!
