Anders Flodström, noted earlier in this blog on account of his hostile attitude towards the Swedish language, was last week appointed chancellor of the royal and state universities. His appointment was the first done by the new center-right government meeting the new standards of open contest; since all higher civil service positions up til now have been filled by the old boys network or with people holding a party book in the social democratic party.
So, Flodström is qualified for his job! But probably determined to undermine the role of our national language in education and science.
