The president of the university is the administrative person in charge of the school, responsible for the daily management and decision-making of the school. Generally speaking, the level of university presidents varies with factors such as school size, region and type.

In China's universities, generally speaking, university presidents belong to bureau-level cadres, that is, the director of the provincial education department and the director of the municipal education bureau. However, under some special circumstances, the president of a university may also be given a higher administrative level. For example, in a national key university or a university undertaking special tasks, the president of the university may be regarded as a deputy ministerial cadre, that is, a cadre at the same level as the director of the provincial education department.

In addition, the level of university presidents is also related to the type of school. For example, in junior colleges and higher vocational colleges, principals generally belong to county-level cadres, that is, cadres at the same level as the director of the county education bureau. In private universities, the president does not belong to the civil service series, and there is no clear level regulation.

In short, the level of university presidents depends on the specific situation, but they generally belong to bureau-level cadres or county-level cadres.

Obligations of university presidents

As the administrative person in charge of the school, the president of the university has a series of obligations and responsibilities. First of all, the principal needs to be responsible for the daily management and decision-making of the school, including formulating the development strategy of the school, managing teaching and scientific research, and supervising financial and personnel management.

Principals need to represent the school in foreign exchanges, maintain the image and reputation of the school, establish contacts with the government, enterprises and social organizations, and strive for more support and resources. In addition, principals need to pay attention to the rights and interests of teachers, students and staff, and maintain the stability and harmony of the school.

University presidents also need to bear certain social responsibilities, pay attention to social development and public interests, actively participate in social welfare activities and cultural exchange activities, and promote the internationalization process and academic exchanges of the school. At the same time, principals need to pay attention to the quality of teaching and academic research, and promote the discipline construction and the transformation and application of scientific research results.

In short, university presidents need to fulfill various obligations and responsibilities to ensure the normal operation and development of the school. At the same time, they also need to pay attention to teachers, students, staff and social public interests and assume certain social responsibilities.
