Shizuoka University and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, which had been considering the integration of corporations and university reorganization with the aim of accepting students from 2022, decided to postpone the integration reorganization time because discussions did not proceed as planned.The specific timing of the integration has not been disclosed, and it seems that the situation is uncertain.
According to the agreement signed by Shizuoka University and Hamamatsu Medical University in 2019, the corporation will be integrated by 2021, and then the new university that integrates the Shizuoka University Hamamatsu Campus and Hamamatsu Medical University in Hamamatsu City, which has the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Informatics. , The new university consisting of Shizuoka University Shizuoka Campus in Shizuoka City, where the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Agriculture are located, was to be established in 2022.
I have been trying to operate an integrated corporation by the umbrella method with universities in each of the two ordinance-designated cities in Shizuoka Prefecture, but Hamamatsu City and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine were willing to integrate because it would lead to the fusion of medical care, engineering, and information fields. On the other hand, there were complaints about the division of Shizuoka University from Shizuoka City and Shizuoka University.
Shizuoka City was looking for a way to reorganize at the Shizuoka University Future Vision Council, which included Shizuoka University officials as members, but the discussions were stalled and it fell into a dormant state.For this reason, Shizuoka University and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine have determined that the application to the University Establishment Council, which is necessary to accept students from 2022, will not be in time.
Hamamatsu City and Hamamatsu University School of Medicine are expected to continue to seek integration in line with the agreement, but Shizuoka City and Shizuoka University are slow to move, and there are voices that are worried about the future of the integration.
