What is a Subdean?

A subdean is a person who holds a position of authority and responsibility within a deanery, which is a division of a larger institution or organization. The specific responsibilities and duties of a subdean can vary depending on the context, but they are generally responsible for overseeing and managing certain aspects of the deanery's operations.

In some cases, a subdean may be responsible for a specific area of the deanery, such as student affairs, academic programs, or finance and administration. In other cases, a subdean may be responsible for a specific group of people within the deanery, such as students, faculty members, or staff.

The role of a subdean is typically one of support and assistance to the dean, who is the head of the deanery. The subdean works closely with the dean to ensure that the deanery is running smoothly and effectively, and may be responsible for implementing the dean's policies and decisions.

In some contexts, the term "subdean" may be used interchangeably with other titles such as "associate dean" or "assistant dean." However, in other cases, the terms may have slightly different meanings and responsibilities.
