Wim,

Running a university is a far different matter than running a piano business.

It would prudent on your part to not make hasty judgements concerning 
executive decisions made by those who, on the whole, have potentially 
far greater vision of what is best for the curriculum. They have been 
at it quite a bit longer.

You must remember, you are a newbie when it comes to being part of a 
university. Give it time. I feel you will gradually discover over 
time, that these professors, and those responsible for the outcome of 
matters of importance to a university, are extremely thoughtful, 
talented, intelligent, dedicated individuals and care greatly about 
the students' future in the world at large.

Sincerely,
