and they call that new paradigm!

so the newsletter says (translated freely):

choosing the deans: new paradigm -- it's selection, not election. selection is good. because it requires thorough assessment by a competent committee. Bla bla bla...
since when democracy means "selection" and not "election"? since these people think they are better assessors than you. you can't elect your dean (you can't cast your vote). They should select one for you.

well, i say crap.
