＊Main exchange of opinions, etc.

(1) About overall evaluation
・ Nothing in particular

(2) 1.　Initiatives to achieve the goals related to university management
・ There is no data to verify only the amount and number of Scientific Research Grants from City University, so I do not know whether research is activated or is declining.
・ The evaluation committee may have to confirm the items pointed out in the previous year in the middle.
・ It is important for corporations to change, not to point out.
・ It is necessary to verify whether the plan is really correct, whether it is necessary to consider it in the future, whether to approach the reality, or to lower the target and bring it closer to reality.
・ If there are many points to be pointed out in this way, there is also a difference in the level of the point, and it is not clear which one is important. For example, I think FD is very important.

(3) 2.　Initiatives to achieve the goals related to community contribution
・ As for the extension center, it's a new attempt, but I feel that it's just a performance rather than a project. If a corporation is out of breath, you have to think properly. I think there is a possibility to develop into the future, so if you do it, you should do it properly.

(4) 3.　Initiatives to achieve goals related to internationalization
・ For international students, we have established the Center for Internationalization, and we need to increase the number of international students accepted.
・ As a whole, I feel that I am busy with environmental improvement.

(5) 4.　About approach to achieve target about affiliated hospital
・ I think it's a bit sweet compared to the newly established national university hospitals in rural areas. A large amount of operating grants have been issued, there is no burden on facilities, and it is a matter of course for hospitals in urban areas. It's just what I'm doing at other public hospitals, and there's no characteristic thing.
・ The medium-term plan clarifies the positioning of the two hospitals, but it is doubtful whether it is in such a direction. It seems that the two hospitals are competing and competing. Rather, there is an idea that competition will improve performance, but I don't feel like I'm considering something.
・ Regarding the reorganization of Medical consultation fee, you say "implementation," but did you just change the name of Mr. Medical consultation fee? I think the reorganization of Medical consultation fee is to reorganize the identity of doctors, and to integrate everything from education to research. On the other hand, we must also make equipment to respond.
・ Regarding the 7-to-1 nursing system, as a hospital in the city center, we should be aware of the crisis that nurses could not be secured.
・ There are three national universities that have two affiliated hospitals, but their positions are clearly different. At the University of Tokyo, one of them emits a deficit every year, but it is understood that it is only possible because the position is clear.
・ Having two new facilities is also a new attempt. We must establish a strategy to take advantage of that strength. Having two hospitals not only stabilizes management, but also helps staff rotation work well. The 7-to-1 nursing system should be secured because it is advantageous for management in all respects. However, it is not a good idea to reduce and secure the number of beds.
・ The reorganization of the Medical consultation fee requires a person responsible for integrating education, research and medical care. As far as you can see the homepage, isn't it just a name? A thorough reorganization should be made to work.
・ In order to strengthen authority, nothing can be done without granting budget and personnel rights. Having three deputy hospital directors may end up with dispersing authority.

(6) 5.　Initiatives to achieve the goals related to corporate management
・ It is no use that there is no personnel change at all. If there is something new at each other's universities, there is a merit of personnel exchange.
・ Obtaining ISO 14001 certification is not all, but we have to do it properly.

(7) 6.　Initiatives to achieve the goals related to self-inspection / evaluation, certification evaluation, and provision of information related to the situation
・ In the main implementation status, the University Evaluation Division fed back on the points to be pointed out in the evaluation results to each department.…"But it is doubtful how to think about consistency with the fact that important points were left behind.

(8) 7.　Other initiatives to achieve important goals related to business operations
・ Nothing in particular

(9) 8.　About budget, income and expenditure plan and fund plan
・ Nothing in particular

(10) Others
・ As a university, it is important how to increase the number of applicants. The most important thing is to enhance the content, but I hope that the entrance examination rate will increase.
・ If the entrance examination rate increases and decreases repeatedly, it will not stop. It is necessary to have a sense of crisis.
・ I guess the content may not be well communicated to the students from the name of the faculty called "International Comprehensive". There are two ways at national universities, one is to remove "international" and "comprehensive" and the other is to publicize that your university's "international" is such a thing.
・ I can't remove "international" in a newly established faculties, so I have to do more PR. It is difficult to get high school career guidance teachers to understand where and where university's "international" means. It's not enough to go to 34 high schools.
・ Graduates can show how students who have cleared the special TOEFL can be accepted by society, but until then there is concern that students who are not good at English will be shunned.
・ I think some of the medium-term plans need to be revised, such as obtaining ISO 14001 certification and publishing them in international journals.
・ The University Evaluation Headquarters does not seem to keep an eye on improvements just by communicating the points pointed out to each department. In the private sector, during the PDCA cycle, watches are firmly performed and led to actions. The Secretariat of the Evaluation Committee (city) is also responsible. We need to give the evaluation results to the corporation, not the end, but to encourage them to improve properly.
・ Certification evaluation is slow in fiscal 2009. In order to receive certification evaluation, teachers must also be mobilized. I think it makes sense for teachers to be evaluated as their own problem. Everyone has a sense of crisis.
・ Although regional contributions and internationalization are delayed, somebody has to work together across a wide range of fields to manage and watch. In internationalization, there is an internationalization promotion center, but the organizational structure is inadequate, and there is no organization that contributes to the community. At hospitals, the hospital director may be conscious of it, but if you think it is important as a university, you need to organize it firmly.
＊Main exchange of opinions, etc.
・ The increase in external funding is also higher than other public universities. I was worried about the comparison with other universities, but it seems that I am doing my best. It can be said that it's a good idea.
