Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Claire Nolan

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Francis,
Des fois les questions qui semblent faciles ne le sont pas du tout.
Francis Marche (asker) Apr 5, 2010:
Thanks for those kind enough to explain to me that a "cadre" is a manager or an executive. Problem is: these "cadres universitaires" cannot be admin staff of educational institutions. They sit in academic commissions. They are members of the academia. Voilà ce que rend la question un peu plus difficile qu'il n'y paraît. Merci à ceux qui feront l'effort de m'aider à la résoudre sans condescendance.

university administrators

Declined
In a university, I think you use "administration" and "administrator" rather than executive (although some positions may contain the word "executive").

Reference:

a further discussion of cadre in a university setting in Congo

They may be using a officer here in closer to the military sense of a qualifed professional officer, as opposed to a meaning of a manager or an executive in a hierarchial sense.
