The reasons for selecting Nihon University are published on the website.
Nihon University has published the "Reason for Selection" prepared by the Selection Committee, which is composed of six people including outside experts and selected Mariko Hayashi as a candidate for the next president.
According to this, the selection committee held interviews with multiple candidates based on the recommendations from each member, and finally recommended one Mr. Hayashi to the board of directors of the university.
As a reason for the recommendation, Mr. Hayashi has the belief that the profits of the university are for students and students and are different from the pursuit of profits of general companies regarding the future management and operation of Nihon University. He points out that for the happiness of the students, it is necessary to carry out drastic reforms now, and to have a strong belief that it is necessary to regenerate into a university that we can be proud of.
In addition, Mr. Hayashi has the idea that "We will listen to the opinions of many people and build an open environment. The management and operation of a large organization should not be carried out arbitrarily" and is a factor of a series of scandals. It is evaluated that it has the ideas and execution ability necessary to break away from the "dedicated system" and "homogeneity of the organization".
It is essential that the recommendation to the board of directors be decided by the unanimous decision of all the committee members, and that she will support Mr. Hayashi, who has no experience in school management, by establishing a backup system such as appointing necessary external human resources. I point out that.
