The answer

It is not permissible for faculty members or the dean to take money in excess of what is due to the contractor, whether in cash or for expenses. This money must be returned to the treasury of the state-affiliated entity that disbursed it, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Many a person who wrongfully dips into the property of Allah and His Messenger will have the Fire on the Day of Resurrection."
