II. Organization
- Principles of self-governance
Being aware that university self-governance has been specially entrusted to it by the people of Japan for the benefit of the society through the creation and development of knowledge free from any kind of bias, the University will not only strive perpetually for self-review but will also autonomously fulfill its commitments.
- Directions and duties of the University President
The University of Tokyo strives for effective and responsive management under the overall direction and responsibility of its President, with due consideration given to the smooth and integrated formation of consensus among its constituent members with respect to education, research and administration. The University will strive to see that diverse opinions from a wide range of society are reflected in its management.
- Responsibilities of the constituent members of the University
The faculties, graduate schools, and affiliated institutes of The University of Tokyo, as basic organizational units of autonomous operations, will have fair opportunities to participate responsibly in the management of the entire University. Responsibilities include the resilience for essential self-reform with the objective of developing the system of education and research of the University as a whole.
- Self-governance and duties of the basic organizational units
With the objective of providing the highest level of education in the world, The University of Tokyo will conduct strict, regular and appropriate evaluations of the students’ academic achievements.
In addition to self-review of faculty members’ educational activities and various other conditions for education, The University of Tokyo will obtain evaluations from both students and appropriate third parties, and will promptly implement these evaluations in the attainment of its educational goals.
- Autonomy with regard to personnel matters
The University's self-governance policy lies in its autonomy regarding personnel matters. Thus, selection of staff such as the University President, vice presidents, deans of faculties and graduate schools, directors of institutes, faculty members, and other employees will be carried out autonomously by The University of Tokyo itself on the basis of fair evaluations. Personnel matters regarding appointing the head and the faculty members of each basic organizational unit will be undertaken, after consultations and discussions with the respective units.
