Adding more certainly doesn't help. Reducing the number could help if we have a concomitant increase in the usefulness of directorates. But it doesn't solve the problem. If we learn to adjust to having fewer ADs, and the trend toward a smaller more homogeneous candidate pool continues, we end up with just a Chair and maybe 1-2 ADs, plus a lot of (appointed) "assistants". That could work, but let's decide explicitly if that's the trajectory we want to be on.
