IF an indiviudal can declare a personal fast, there is no question a Rosh Yeshiva (or other leader of Klal Yisrael, e.g. the “Rebbe” of a community) can declare a fast.

If he decided to do something that would otherwise not be allowed, such as to require the yeshiva to recite Hallel on his birthday, that would be different.
