Wikipedia defines prorector (no space) as follows:
"In some countries (e.g. in the USSR and in the independent countries of the former Soviet Union), a prorector is a member of the management body of a university. Each prorector manages one particular area of university life. Examples include prorector of education and prorector of science. The same applies for Brazil. For example "Graduation Prorector" means the member of the management body in charge of graduation courses, and so on."
