In response to the fact that the selection process was unclear in the presidential selection held at the University of Tokyo last year, the university's working group, which has been considering improvement measures, participated in the selection meeting with past presidents. We have put together a report that suggests not to let you do it.
At the University of Tokyo, during the presidential selection held last year, the former president, who chaired the meeting, mentioned an anonymous accusation about a specific candidate during a private selection meeting to narrow down the candidates. There were criticisms about things like that, and the third-party committee that conducted the verification compiled a report that pointed out that it was "invalid."
In response to this, the University of Tokyo formed a working group chaired by President Teruo Fujii to consider improvement measures and compiled the final report this month.
Among them, it is proposed that experienced presidents should not be appointed as committee members, saying that if an experienced president is appointed as an off-campus committee member of the selection meeting, there is a risk that he will continue to exert influence even after he retires from the president. Did.
In addition, when selecting on-campus or off-campus committee members for the selection meeting, the selected criteria should be announced.
The University of Tokyo plans to improve the rules and procedures within the university and to embody the proposals in the report.
