Olga Tokarczuk

"With age, many men come down with testosterone autism, the symptoms of which are a gradual decline in social intelligence and capacity for interpersonal communication, as well as a reduced ability to formulate thoughts. The person beset by this ailment becomes taciturn and appears to be lost in contemplation. He develops an interest in various tools and machinery, and he's drawn to the Second World War and the biographies of famous people, mainly politicians and villains."

An institute for the study of national/regional culture is okay, in principle (probably better a department than a whole faculty). More suspicious: decisions made in secret, at a meeting that did not happen, to benefit politically connected staff members.
