About the governance code for national universities

National university corporations are required to have a high level of public nature and are provided with various types of financial support, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a strong governance system and to make this clear to various stakeholders. The National University Corporation Governance Code has been developed by the Association of National Universities in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Cabinet Office to reflect the views of various stakeholders and to be widely accepted by society. Each national university corporation is implementing measures to build a governance system in accordance with laws and regulations and based on the basic principles of this Governance Code, taking into account its own characteristics and other factors.
