Thanks Emanuela (and luskie); I'm going with dean here. Thanks also Francesco: from my experience I associate "schoolmaster" with lower education, while I'm describing university staff (though I inexcusably failed to specify this in the second two queries).

Explanation:
Dipende dal contesto; in molti possono aver ragione, ma...

Preside
Secondo quanto dice Diz. Devoto-Oli il preside è il capo di un istituto di istruzione secondaria, media o superiore

Preside di facoltà: il professore universitario, eletto dal consiglio di facoltà, preposto al coordinamento degli insegnamenti ed alla sorveglianza della disciplina; fa parte del senato accademico

Rettore: titolo attribuito in passato con incarichi governativi, amministrativi e giudiziari e che si conserva ancor oggi nelle università nonché per direttori di collegi e comunità religiosa. Il magnifico rettore dell'università, viene eletto dal corpo accademico dei professori dell'Università per la durata di un triennio.
