Quick question: what's the difference? Also do you address a director as "dean" like if someone's title is "Assistant Director of Admissions Barney Purple" Do you say "Dean Purple"?

To use Yale as an example: Dean of Admissions is/was Asha Rangappa. Director of Admissions is Craig Janecek.
Dean of the law school is a different position entirely--much more prestigious/important. Dean of YLS is Heather Gerken, first ever female Dean of YLS. (3(/p)
Mr./Ms. Purple it is! Thanks
The Dean is like the "president" of the whole school, in that he/she oversees all of the schools operations including teaching faculty, research, fundraising, aaaand admissions. The Director of Admissions (sometimes referred to as the Dean of Admissions) is the head of a school's admissions department, which again is overseen by the law school Dean.
So if someone's title is Director of Admissions, I would just call them Mr./Ms./Mrs. instead of director. Same goes for an Assistant Director - they are not deans, they work for the Dean/Director of Admissions.
If they're called a Dean I would address them as Dean.
(the nomenclature varies from school to school)
