Some experts have questioned that a large amount of taxes will be placed on the Japan Academic Conference, which the government did not designate, but afterwards, the Japanese Academy has also been revised. ..
There is even unfounded information that the mother of the academy is an academic conference. What type of organization is the academy?

Nihon Gakuin Official Website
The Fuji commentator pointed out that “people at academic conferences are pensions in academia.”
“If these people worked here for 6 years, then they would go to the academy and receive an annual pension of 2.5 million yen. Until they die. From their taxes. Generally, that’s the rule.”
On October 5, 2020, Fuji TV’s main commentator Fumio Hirai pointed out about the academic lecture on the station’s information show “Viking MORE”. Then, all the interpreters gave a surprised voice.
Mr. Hirai argued in the program that it is not democratic for the academic council to select only some academics, and that policy proposals should be made after privatizing and establishing a membership fee system. The relationship with the academy was mentioned in that.
This comment was posted on Twitter and spread, with the recap sites picking up one after another. Some members of the Diet also saw a tweet that appeared to quote him.
However, there have been a number of questions from experts about Mr. Hirai’s statements.
The jurisdiction of the academic council and the academy is different from that of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Education, respectively. Furthermore, Gakuin is an organization that recognizes scientists with outstanding academic achievements, and the purpose of its establishment is also different. Just because you have completed your term at an academic conference does not necessarily mean that you will be going to the academy, and it may not be directly related to you in the first place.
Fuji corrected on the show that “they all gave a false impression like a pension”
On the other hand, on “Viking MORE” where Mr. Hirai said, on October 6, the next day, at the end of the show, the Fuji announcer explained and bowed.
“Comments made by lead commentator Hirai gave the false impression that all members of the academic conference became members of the academy and received an annual pension of 2.5 million yen. To be precise. Some members of the academy Academic conference are recommended to the academy, but not all are members of the academy. Also, non-academic members of the conference can be members of the academy. I will complete and correct it.
Mr. Hirai himself explained the same content on the previous show “Tokudane!”
Fuji TV’s Corporate Public Relations Office also responded to J-CAST News on the 6th, saying, “As I told you in today’s” Viking MORE, “we will strengthen the verification system and strive to prevent a repeat.”
However, Mr. Hirai does not appear to have withdrawn his criticism of academic conferences and academies.
There are other critics, and announcer Jiro Shinbo said on October 5 that it was like the vested interests of academics, saying, “Do I need to support it with taxes?” I questioned. He added: “The administration decides the members of the independent committee of the United States. There should be no governmental organization in a democratic country that is not supervised by the administration.”
Toru Hashishita, former Osaka mayor and lawyer, also noted on Twitter that “before calling for academic freedom and independence, first be independent in terms of money,” and commented that “the academy’s lifetime pension is not right for the times. I was saying.
“There is no bias in thinking, etc., of academic achievement …”
On October 6, the secretariat of the Japanese Academy responded to an interview about whether all the graduates of the academic conference could attend or whether there were any rules.
It is said that about 30% of the graduates of the academic conference are from the academic conference, but as for the relationship, “although it may happen that it overlaps with the members of the academic conference, there is no system and there is no system, and those who are from the academic conference. ” You will not be given preferential treatment. “
In the academy, as in the academies of the United States and France, the members of the academy are selecting new members, on this point he says the following.
“It is not decided by the intention of some people, it is selected by the vote of all members. According to article 15 of the member selection rule,” Carefully consider academic experience and personality “” Candidates consider this in the academic world It stipulates that you must be careful not to be skewed to one side when looking in each direction of the above ”. If you look at the results, there is no bias in the ideas, etc. I think the viewer will understand. “
Regarding criticism that the use of taxes may be a personal interest, he said: “I think there are various opinions, so please refrain from commenting.” The government has not been involved in the appointment of members and so far there has been no government interference.
