Philosophy Professor Kenji Tsuchiya of Ochanomizu Women's University has got a big problem, as related in his column in the weekly Shukan Bunshun.
"For a long time I have been wanting to retrain my ability to write, but it has suddenly become impossible. I have been elected to the dean's post. When I was elected dean by my fellow professors, I couldn't believe it. I never thought my colleagues lacked so much judgment. Well, to be honest, I had an inkling of it when my colleagues voted me into the budget committee. They showed their lack of judgment by electing to the budget committee someone who can't even execute a household budget.
But I didn't think their judgment was so dulled as to mistake the dean election with voting for the most handsome man in the university. I need a special bonus to assume responsibility for men with such poor judgment.
