Doesn't look bad to you because there isn't a single solitary thing about your faith that looks bad to you. It's difficult with such committed loyalty to step back and take a look. Yes I get that. But when on one hand it is said that any eligible male can be elected to the UHJ, then the UHJ itself makes appointments to the International Teaching Center, (also 9 members) and people move to Haifa to be a member of that group, and then the recent members (I think I was wrong on the number 20 earlier, but it's certainly at least 15) of the UHJ have all been elected after serving in the ITC, it certainly appears to a neutral outsider to be some sort of cronyism or old boy's club or patronage. I think that much would be pretty obvious to most. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Most certainly if they keep appointing women to the ITC, it'll become more difficult in the future to retain the pattern.
