When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

FROM LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY
Research grade universities provide the cadre of scientific and technological personnel
and students to have the capacity to keep up with the increasing rate of change in
scientific and technological oriented enterprises. Such capacity is essential to the
ultimate diversification of the economy

FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA:
UC Office of the President staff has trained dozens of high school educators and UC/CSU outreach personnel to serve as a "Cadre of Experts" to assist high school educators in developing curriculum and writing up course descriptions that are likely to meet the UC "a-g" subject area requirements. These individuals have expertise in a range of different curricular disciplines, serve in varied professional capacities, represent different sectors of education and different school types, and work in all regions of the state.

Tony M
: But actually, your refs. show it being used in the way Verginia has already suggested, i.e. referring specifically to a body of such people, rather than those people themselves.
