The selection committee of the university, which has been promoting the selection of the successor to the former president of Nihon University, Hidetoshi Tanaka, who was convicted of the tax evasion case, has graduated from Nihon University and the writer Mariko Hayashi as the next president. I learned from interviews with related parties that I am a candidate.
At Nihon University, former President Hidetoshi Tanaka (75) has been convicted of tax evasion in March and is in an unusual situation.
Nihon University has set up a "Chairman Selection Committee" consisting of six people, including outside university officials, to select candidates for a successor.
As a result, it was found by interviewing the people concerned that Mariko Hayashi, a writer from Nihon University College of Art, is a candidate.
Mr. Hayashi is 68 years old, born in Yamanashi City, and has released many popular works such as receiving the Naoki Prize.
Nihon University will decide on a successor chairman at the board meeting on the 3rd, and will officially appoint it on the 1st of next month.
The term of office of the president is four years, and the next president will be challenged with how to regain the trust of the university, which has been severely damaged.
