On 7 April, the University of Tokyo officially announced that within this academic year (1 April to 31 March) a new university president will be selected. On the same day, it was made clear that the second-stage candidates’ policy speeches will be published on the university bulletin. The term of current president Teruo Fujii will end in March 2027.
With the announcement, each academic organisation (all divisions across the university) will elect a delegate by 15 May. Through online voting from 9-11 June, each delegate will nominate two candidates. On 17 June, each delegate will vote for up to three nominated candidates. The candidates in the first stage of selection, limited to 10, will have their names and vote totals announced around 30 June (excluding withdrawn candidates). The Administrative Council will also select approximately two additional first-stage candidates in a meeting on 19 June.
Based on recommendations from the Committee of Representatives and the Administrative Council, the first-stage candidates will be confirmed in early July. Following this, the University President Screening & Inspection Committee will narrow down the second-stage candidates through interviews, and will announce the results around 19 August. Questions for candidates will be accepted via a survey until 30 April, and videos of the second-stage candidate’s policy speeches will be made public to faculty, staff and students in early September. Following the opinion vote, the next president-elect will be selected on 28 September.
Hiroko Kuniya, director of the Tokyo University of the Arts, will chair this year’s University President Screening & Inspection Committee. Along with the announcement, she affirmed the council will reflect on the previous election’s lessons, and that it will aim for a process that is explainable internally and externally. She commented that to improve the transparency of the presidential selection process, they will release as much information as possible. She added that based on the desired attributes of the president, they will conduct “careful and sufficient deliberation” and put in utmost effort. 【Translator・睦】
