Yes The dean is the boss of the college. Of course, individual college secretaries are older than deans. This is different from the size of the principal and the secretary. The dean's administrative level is division level, some are middle level and some are deputy division level. But the power difference between the county magistrate and the county party secretary is academic (the secretary governs the party). Obviously, the dean has more power to manage academics than the secretary, which is different from other institutions, just like some central ministries are bigger than the party secretary.
