Following the arrest of a former director in a case of resignation over the rebuilding work of a hospital attached to Nihon University, it is expected that the government subsidy to Nihon University, which was granted about 9 billion yen last year, will be suspended. Was found by interviewing the people concerned.
Regarding Nihon University, the incumbent director was suspected of taking over this month, saying that he had caused damage to the university by leaking more than 200 million yen from the university to the medical corporation side last year over the rebuilding work of Itabashi Hospital attached to the Faculty of Medicine. He was arrested by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office and has been retired.
Subsidies according to the number of students, etc. are provided to private universities twice each year by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology through the affiliated organization "Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation". ..
Last year, Nihon University, which has more than 70,000 students, received a grant of about 9 billion yen, which is the second largest among private universities in Japan.
On the 27th, a council of the business group that decides the first grant is scheduled to be held, and according to the people concerned, there is a possibility that the management and operation of Nihon University is inappropriate, so we will continue to check the investigation status and the university's response. The first subsidy is expected to be withheld, as it needs to be done.
Once the hold is decided, a second council meeting after January next year will determine if there is a need for a reduction or non-grant.
Regarding the subsidy to Nihon University, the amount was reduced in 2018 due to improper entrance examinations and the bad tackle problem of the American football club.
