deaning
Heading academic division
Deaning is serving as or acting in the role of a dean—an academic administrator who oversees a college, faculty, or division within a university.
The term appears in discussions of university governance: After twenty years of deaning, she was ready to return to teaching.
It can suggest the bureaucratic aspects of the position rather than scholarly work.
