The Japan Association of Private Universities has put together an opinion calling for the elimination of the overcapacity rate, which is a requirement for receiving approval projects for university establishment and subsidy projects called competitive funds.Only in an era when the environment surrounding private universities is changing drastically, such as reforming university entrance exams, it is also required to promote capacity management not for each faculty but for each university.
According to I Dalian, the opinion was documented in the name of former Waseda University President Kaoru Kamata, Chairman of I Dalian.Now that the Central Council for Education advocates a cross-disciplinary degree program and other educational systems and educational content that are suitable for the new era are required, a drastic review of the university establishment standards that will enable the reorganization of faculties according to the times is being carried out. Claims necessary.
For private universities, stricter capacity management has been promoted since 2016 in the name of ensuring an environment suitable for regional revitalization, education, and research, but due to tightening regulations, "it is difficult to enroll, but it is easy to graduate." He said he was concerned about maintaining and expanding the shortcomings of Japanese universities.
After that, we requested the elimination of the enrollment capacity excess rate, which is a requirement for receiving approval business and subsidy business, and switched the capacity management from the enrollment capacity to the standard focusing on the accommodation capacity, from the enrollment capacity of each faculty to the accommodation capacity of the entire university. I'm asking you to judge.
