There were questions from inside and outside the university that there was a problem in the selection process for the next president of the University of Tokyo, and although the verification committee consisting of outside lawyers pointed out some problems, the selection was correct and redone. I have put together a report that concludes that I do not ask for.
According to the University of Tokyo, the verification committee consisted of a total of five lawyers, including Tokuji Izumi, a former Supreme Court Attorney, and Toshiaki Hiwatari, a former Attorney General. From mid-October, we proceeded with the examination of the materials submitted by the University of Tokyo and interviews with related parties, and reached a conclusion.After the president selection meeting selected Teruo Fujii as the next president, the recorded data of the meeting was deleted, but it was restored by asking a specialist.
The verification committee judged that the selection result was "justified and there is no problem at all".However, when narrowing down the 1 primary candidates, the top candidates in the internal voting were excluded, and two people from the same engineering department as Chairman Hiroshi Komiyama (former president) of the president selection meeting became three secondary candidates. The inclusion and the statement by President Komiyama that "anonymous accusations have come" to a particular candidate are somewhat questionable, albeit not enough to invalidate the selection. Shows.
President Makoto Gonokami said, "I deeply regret that the operation of the presidential selection meeting caused confusion and had a negative impact on the social trust of the University of Tokyo. Recommendations such as the term of office and strengthening of the secretariat were also made. I would like to improve the points that should be improved during the remaining term. "
