Kirk again. This post about Kumamoto University came in my Google News feed. The publisher is a company that describes its mission as “AI Asset Management” so I assume that it has been put together and written by a bot. The English is good but the captions are mostly in Japanese (I guess the bot failed to realize that it should translate those into English). It doesn’t say anything negative and, of course, no students or faculty are quoted. Still, people studying or working at Kumamoto University might find it interesting (maybe even amusing).

Here’s a quote I’m looking forward to discussing with someone I know who works there:

“Kumamoto University is also committed to minimizing the administrative burden on faculty members. The university has established efficient administrative processes and support services to ensure that faculty members can focus on their teaching and research activities.”
