The Ministry of Japanese Education published a

report stating that universities hire too much of

there own graduates; the average is 36 percent.

Nor do they hire enough women. Only one on ten

university Professors are female. Furthermore,

the number of ex-private sector executives must

increased. Universities are trying to improve

themselves by self-evaluations which investiga-

te such thing as teaching conditions, organiza-

tion, managements, and research activities.
