Nagoya University and Gifu University, which are considering the integration of operating corporations under the one-corporation multi-university system, have given the Minister of Science, Yoshimasa Hayashi financial support and multiple governments by amending the National University Corporation Law to enable the one-corporation multi-university system. We requested in writing the establishment of the director of the university.
According to Gifu University, the document is a joint name of President Seiichi Matsuo of Nagoya University and President Hisataka Moriwaki of Gifu University.President Matsuo and President Moriwaki visited the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Tokyo and handed the documents directly to the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
In terms of financial support, if it becomes a new operating corporation, it will be necessary to develop information and communication equipment used for distance lectures and conferences, academic affairs, finance, and personnel systems, and it will be necessary to develop education and research in new fields. I appealed for budgetary measures.
The director will be appointed by the Minister of Education based on the nomination of the director selection meeting of the new corporation, and the president will be appointed by the Minister of Education based on the nomination of the president selection meeting of each university. A meeting was set up to request that management efficiency be improved while maintaining the uniqueness of education and research activities.
In order to make the research base of the new corporation world-class, we are also requesting that it be possible to set up a facility with the same rank as the university instead of the research institute attached to the university.
Nagoya University and Gifu University have established the Tokai National Higher Education Organization (tentative name) to integrate the administrative departments of both universities, and are proceeding with discussions on the integration of operating corporations that will allocate the budget and personnel generated by rationalization to education and research. ..
When Nagoya University was designated as a designated national university corporation by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, it aims to realize a multi-campus system aimed at improving international competitiveness, and plans to decide a certain direction by March 2019.
