According to the Town, People, and Work Creation Headquarters, the suppression plan does not allow new university expansion in the 23 wards of Tokyo, where the concentration of students continues to increase.Within the total capacity, existing faculties and departments will be revised or abolished, and new faculties and departments will be established according to the needs of society, and only cases where working people and international students will be accepted will be accepted.
The background is that private university campuses that had been relocated to the suburbs are returning to the city center one after another due to the abolition of the Factory Restriction Law. The number of university students in the 23 wards is 45, accounting for 6,000% of the national total, which is a factor in accelerating the concentration of young people in Tokyo.

　In response, the Japan Association of Private Universities issued a statement saying that it would be a serious constraint on academic freedom and the right to education.
The statement points out that regional revitalization requires educational reforms and job creation for companies and local governments based on the free ideas of universities.If the university capacity in Tokyo is regulated, it will be delayed in responding to social changes and advances in science and technology, "it may not be able to meet the needs of society and may weaken national power."
