during his tenure as rector/president


Explanation:
I think your suggestion works fine.

Another option may be president, especially un the case of a stand-alone institution.

In my explanation, I meant to say "in the case of a stand-alone institution," i.e., a single university instead of a system, such as the California state system, where one rector presides, and each campus has its own president.

I also think "tenure" adequately (if not perfectly) conveys the source text's register in this particular context of academia; that is, words like "time" or "period" do not appear to sufficiently capture all of the source text's formality in this context.

during his / her (BrE) Vice-Chancellorship


Explanation:
There is no indication that this person is a male. Otherwise, the Chancellors of British Universities tend to be, but not always, Royal Patrons.

Rectorship is unfortunate usage for UK and Irish purposes and is liable to get confused with a rectum.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: Entry domains: administrative law [POLITICS > executive power and public service] EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATIONS (32) EP es rector de universidad en VC Vice-Chancellor President
  • Vice-chancellorship definition is - the office or term of a vice-chancellor.
