Japan's university bureacracy

If there's one thing I've learned while working at a Japanese university, it is that no one believes the following truism:

Elias Schwartz:

"Anything not worth doing is worth not doing well. Think about it."

The number of times a year we are required to do things simply because we always have done them, or where all faculty must participate in some mindless meeting simply because everyone else must participate.... Oh well. Life is easy when nothing constructive actually happens.
