A 55-year-old part-time computer science lecturer resigned from Taisho University in Tokyo on Thursday after being found naked in a corridor.
The man had stripped amid a row with his 21-year-old lover, a student with whom he lived, a university official said.
The woman had told him: "Get naked if you want me to believe you."
