＊Main exchange of opinions, etc.
・Among the evaluation points, management is "centered", but we must put an appropriate weight for education and research.
・The operation of a university refers to education and research, which is evaluated by an external organization and evaluated by the Corporate Evaluation Committee based on that. Therefore, it is difficult to determine what is education and research, and what is not education or research.
・Since the evaluation of the contents of education and research itself is to be carried out by an external evaluation organization, there are aspects that cannot be understood unless it is conducted on a trial basis.
・Universities are determined based on the evaluation of graduates, but from the perspective of university management, education is costly, and this is not reflected in financial statements. This is a difficult place, but it must not be forgotten.
・I don't have to look very closely every year. Rather, we should focus on overall evaluation (six years).

（３） Others
[Document 3] (PDF: 167KB), the secretariat of the public university corporation Yokohama City University explained the progress of the efforts so far in the annual plan.
＊Main exchange of opinions, etc.
・Looking at the figures in the materials, it is proceeding very smoothly.
・For example, when it comes to student questionnaires, it is important to provide feedback, not to conduct them, and I think that is the subject of evaluation.
・Please indicate when you plan to do something that says "under consideration".
・It is important how to increase income while reducing operating grants.
・From the viewpoint of personnel expenses, there are discussions on the number of students per faculty member based on the setting standards, but Yokohama City University is based on the current situation, what to aim for in the future and how to maintain the quality of education Is a basic problem.
