Oh, absolutely not, sorry if I was unclear. It is of course incredible frustrating—our department is half the size of what it was when I started 10 years ago. But, the rare times we have had hires approved (just twice), it is exactly what we requested.

Perhaps I misunderstood your original post—I took it to say that you send a list of potential hires to admin and then they ignore it, and perhaps even choose a different sub field altogether? That seems totally unthinkable to me.
