English term or phrase: Dean of Student
Dans la série Beverly Hills, je suis confrontée à l'expression "dean of student" que je n'arrive pas à traduire convenablement (il me faut quelque chose de court). Peut-on parler de doyen ici ? Quel est le rôle de ce dean of student ?

D'après mes recherches, j'ai trouvé ceci, mais rien ne me satisfait vraiment :
- Doyen des services aux étudiants
- Directeur des services aux étudiants
- Surveillant général

Je pensais à quelque chose comme "responsable des élèves", mais je ne suis pas vraiment sûre de moi.
Voici le contexte :

- I took one of Brandon's old term papers off the computer and I turned it in with my name on it.
- What?
- It was a bogus class. An independent study course. We had a rookie professor. I thought it would be a slam dunk. Now the Dean of Students and the Conduct Committee want my head.
[plus loin]
- What's this about, Walsh? I've got a class to teach.
- Right. Well, I just came from the Dean of Student's office. He explained to me the plagiarism charges you're bringing against Steve Sanders. And I just stated my innocence for the record.
- Of course you did.

Explanation:
Pareil, quand je lis "doyen", je pense tout de suite à doyen de la fac ("vieux" si je puis dire)...ma proposition est plutôt longue mais je pense qu'elle convient mieux.

dean of students' office
Le responsable du Bureau des Etudiants


Explanation:
Voici une suggestion un peu plus ordinaire.
"Dean" en anglais est plus précis ; ce "statut" n'existe pas à proprement parler dans les universités françaises.
Il/elle est effectivement une personne différente du Doyen de la fac.
Ci-après deux sites, dont un organigramme trouvé avec "dean" et "assistant dean" (=adjoint au responsable)
