I think this point of view is debatable, because from different points of view, different conclusions can be drawn.
First of all, from the perspective of power and status, the duties and powers of the secretary of the Qiaokou District Party Committee and the president of Jianghan University are different. As the leader of the party and government in Wuhan Municipal District, the secretary of the Qiaokou District Party Committee is mainly responsible for the management of political, economic and social affairs in the region, and has high decision-making power and management power. The president of Jianghan University, as the head of the operation and management of Wuhan universities, is mainly responsible for the management and development of the school, and needs to consider the overall development of the school and the quality of education. Therefore, from the perspective of power and status, the transfer from the secretary of the Qiaokou District Party Committee to the president of Jianghan University may be regarded as a kind of "demotion" because its power and status have been reduced.
But, from another point of view, such a move can also be a "promotion". Because Jianghan University is an undergraduate college, although it is only a university in Wuhan, the school is a department-level structure, the president belongs to the provincial management department-level cadres, and the president's responsibilities and powers are relatively high, and he needs to have higher leadership ability and management level. At the same time, as an important figure in the field of education, the career development of the principal also has an important impact on the development and reputation of the school. Therefore, if a person is transferred from the secretary of the Qiaokou District Party Committee to the president of Jianghan University, not only the administrative level has been promoted, but he can also be considered to have improved in career development and personal growth, which is another level of promotion and reuse.
In view of the foregoing, whether such a transfer is a promotion may need to be analysed on a case-by-case basis. If one wishes to continue to develop in the political arena, then transferring from the secretary of the Qiaokou District Party Committee to the president of Jianghan University may be a "demotion" because of his reduced power and status. However, if a person is more focused on personal growth and development, then this transfer may be a "promotion" because he is able to exert his leadership and management skills on a higher platform. In any case, such redeployments need to be considered on a case-by-case basis and on a case-by-case basis.
