One of today’s main Kumamoto-related stories is that, although there will continue to be an “Aso campus” of Tokai University, it cannot be reconstructed completely. As I understand it, many of the heavily damaged buildings are located on faults that preclude complete reconstruction.

Fields, pastures, etc will continue to be used for hands-on instruction in agriculture but I take it that the bulk of the classroom instruction will need to take place on the campus in Kumamoto City.

P.S. Tomorrow (this morning?) is projected to be the coldest of the year so far – unusually cold for Kumamoto. Bundle up if you’re going outside!
