Corporation of National University
Question:
Should national universities be changed to corporation like private company?
Yes: 6 persons
- In national universities, there are many talented persons who have
excellent skills on specific fields. We should change our regulation so
that such excellent skills can be opened to our society.
- They should be changed. However, it depends on the subjects. For
example, such excellent skills or ideas can be commercialized in medical,
technological, or science field. On the other hand, in literature, it is
difficult for us to apply to our practical use.
- This reform is good, because national universities will be opened to the
society and we will be able to hear such excellent persons' lecture much
easier.
No: 4 persons
- University is a kind of school. And professor is a kind of teacher.
Any teacher shall not be a business man.
- Professors have 2 roles. One is "Research" and the other is "Teach".
They should take responsibility for both of those 2 roles. If they were
commercialized, the latter role will be ignored. In other words, any
professor will not want to teach in classes. That is a very serious problem.
(Solution)
Professor have 2 jobs, researching and teaching. Research has already been
commercialized such as patent. However, teaching has not commercialized
yet.
Teaching itself should be commercialized as well as Researching. For
example, students buy a class. Then, if a class is very attractive, many
students will buy the class, just like the relationship between shop and
customer.
