Sterling Dean
The Sterling Dean is a former Curator elevated to manage the interplay between the diverse schools of knowledge. While each Curator is an authority in their respective branch, the Dean resolves any disputes that arise between them, particularly when a topic spans multiple fields. The Dean must tread carefully, balancing the autonomy of the schools while maintaining cohesion within the Collective. Though mostly administrative, the Dean has a weighty vote in determining the legitimacy of research, often presiding over key decisions like the formation of new branches. With the keeper as an elusive overseer, the Dean acts as the daily fulcrum on which the equilibrium of the entire institution rests.
