Although Shandong University is a vice-ministerial university, only the president and party secretary are vice-ministerial, the executive vice-president is the main hall class, and the vice-president is the deputy hall class! Every department (director, director) and every college (dean, secretary of the general party branch) of Shandong University are cadres at the level!

Therefore, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Shandong University is a deputy-level (deputy county-level) leader.
