> Z% of seats by pure lottery. I wouldn't elect any political official or moderator by pure lottery.

  Are college students representing you? Or moderating something you participate in? I'm confused why those are relevant comparisons.

    No they are representing the university of those that work there and past alumni. I wouldn't approve my university randomly admitting students.

      All the ones that can't make it will just drop out. And if any random can make it, then your school is not that special.

  You might be doing yourself a disservice. There are a lot of people who would be extremely competent in practice who are put off by the dirt and competition of the election process. Choosing officials by lot is also extremely resistant to the money-in-politics problem and corruption amongst officials (it becomes easier to detect, and occasionally you get incorruptible people in the role). The ideal political system could well be random lot to determine a small pool of candidates (I think 3-4), then voters choose 1.
