leave

Shih Hsin University President Chen Ching-ho (陳清河) say's he'll take a
two-month unpaid leave of absence after making rash comments in an address to
students last month.

He had told graduating students to "end themselves" if life in the workforce
became too taxing.

In his May 30th address to graduates, he told them, "this world no longer
needs your existence {if you can't cope with workplace challenges}."

Chen said in a social media post that he hadn't been sufficiently careful in
his remarks due to a tight schedule.

He said he had requested and been granted a two-month unpaid leave of absence
effective June 8 and would reflect on the incident and exercise greater
caution in future remarks.
