Let me introduce Jilin University first. Jilin University, referred to as "Jida", is located in Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province. It is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and the central government. It is a national "double first-class", "2 1 1 project" and "985 project". Selected for Everest Plan, 20 1 1 Plan,1Plan, Excellent Legal Talents Education and Training Plan, Excellent Engineer Education and Training Plan, Excellent Doctor Education and Training Plan, Excellent Agricultural and Forestry Talents Education and Training Plan, National Construction of High-level University Public Postgraduate Plan, National College Students Innovation Experiment Plan, New Engineering Research and Practice Project, National College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program, National Innovative Talents Training Demonstration Base, National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Reform Demonstration College, China Government Scholarship Receiving Institution for Foreign Students in China, one of the first 22 universities to establish graduate schools, and a member of Asia-Pacific International Education Association, 2 1 Century Academic Alliance, China-Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Jiaotong University Alliance, Logistics and Supply Chain Innovation Alliance, and Medical "Double First-Class" Construction Alliance.

At the level, the Education Department of Jilin Province is an integral part of the Jilin Provincial Government, with the director being a leading cadre at the director level and belonging to the provincial management cadres, while the Party Secretary and President of Jilin University are all leading cadres at the deputy ministerial level and belonging to the middle management cadres. In this way, the level of the president of Jilin University is higher than that of the director of the Education Department of Jilin Province. Obviously, subordinates can't manage superiors.

Functionally, the Education Department of Jilin Province is a department of the provincial government, which is responsible for the guidance and management of the province's education (including higher education), can manage the appointment and dismissal of cadres in colleges and universities affiliated to the Education Department, such as some vocational schools, and has business guidance relations with provincial universities such as Jilin Agricultural University and Jilin University of Finance and Economics. Jilin University is directly under the management of the Ministry of Education. In addition to the principals and secretaries, other bureau-level cadres are also appointed and removed by the Ministry of Education, and their business is also directly guided and managed by the Ministry of Education. Jilin Provincial Department of Education has no right to manage.

To sum up, the Jilin Provincial Department of Education can't manage Jilin University, and the director of the Provincial Department of Education can't manage the president of Jilin University.
