While the world is evolving towards a freer market, the power mongers @NID seems to be plotting to see how they can maximise control. The NID alumni should put across a strong voice against this.
I think that Design graduates are more than capable of finding and implementing their own assignments. Of course there are bound to be some "yes" individuals who would like to be part of a coterie.
The larger interest of good design will suffer from jobs assigned for everything BUT that criteria : of striving for excellence.
All the best
