Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 480

When Kitahara and the others formally submitted Mikiko's administrative complaint to the Sakyo District District Court——

At 11:12 in the morning, in Sakyo District, Kyoto, an unknown cafe.

In a small glass room in the cafe, about twenty people were seated.Most of them are in suits and leather shoes, about fifty years old, some are looking at the computer, some are sipping coffee, but when they raise their hands, they all reveal an extraordinary demeanor, which is not very ordinary.

Among these people, there are several young people about 20 years old.They are also imposing, quite graceful, and their appearance is more handsome.

When such a group of people with temperaments beyond ordinary people gathered together, an oppressive aura immediately formed.

In the room, there was a man in a suit with slightly gray hair.He wore round glasses and scanned his surroundings.Although he was wearing a suit, he was dressed plainly.There was no aggressive expression on his face, but the light projected from his eyes carried an irresistible majesty.

This man is Professor Takuya Ochi, a professor of the Faculty of Science at Kyoto University and a great authority in the field of auditory nerves.Ochi also serves as a director of the Professor Self-Government Committee.Among the current university management, Ochi is arguably the most prominent opponent of Vice President Takeuchi.When Takeuchi implemented the reform of "not supporting idlers" at the university and continued to increase the scale, more and more undercurrents gathered around Ochi, preparing to launch a counterattack against the vice president.

Today, many professors in the university and representatives of the student union gathered in the small room of this cafe to discuss how to oppose Takeuchi.

"The university's policies are getting more and more absurd!!" A professor slapped the table and said angrily, "Right now, the evaluation indicators for scientific research personnel are actually designated by the personnel and administrative departments of the university, not by professionals. Come to formulate, how can there be such reason!"

"Yes! We do cutting-edge materials in this field. At present, there are no special academic journals for us to publish. We can only publish them at academic conferences. However, the personnel department of the university has actually issued an order to our department that we must publish in cutting-edge magazines. The index of publishing papers. How can this be done? There are not even specialized journals in our field! It’s ridiculous to continue to let the laymen lead the experts like this!” Another scholar in the room echoed.

"There are even more extreme things! Some researchers recruited by the university, and even university institutions do not sign contracts with these researchers, but send labor services to our Kyoto University by signing contracts with third-party organizations. This kind of polite and sweeping things, I don't even know what to say to others!"

"Professor Ochi, are we just sitting and watching Takeuchi, messing up our university?" The eyes of all the senior university teachers in the room turned to Ochi.

"There are young people here today, let us also listen to the young people's thoughts." Ochi looked at the young people in the room, "University is not only for researchers and teachers, but also for students. We alone It doesn’t matter what you say, young people must also have the opportunity to express their feelings.”

A rather handsome young student nodded.He is Fumio Yokoyama, the president of the Kyoto University Student Union.In the case of Fujimura's plagiarism before, staff from the student union intervened to support Shimokawa and Hirose.And the one who decided to intervene in the Fujimura plagiarism incident was the student council president Yokoyama.

Hengshan has always had a hearty personality, and he is especially good at fighting injustices. He has always been at the forefront of the battle in many incidents in which the university harmed the rights and interests of students.

"Since Vice President Takeuchi came to power, student organizations have received less and less funding and venue support from the university." Hengshan said, "The funding of various university associations and student organizations has been cut by 30% compared to three years ago. At the same time, the approval procedures for applying for the use of various places in the university for student activities are becoming more and more complicated. A while ago, the university even introduced absurd measures to control student posters, and actually had to review the contents of the posters. This It's simply unheard of."

"In addition to these restrictions on student activities, the university's dormitory project has been delayed again and again. The three student dormitory buildings in the northwest corner of the campus have already been built, and laying and decoration have already begun. But under this situation, the construction period unexpectedly It has been delayed for more than a year. At the same time, the dormitories in other areas of the campus have problems such as hot water and power outages. However, after many renovations, these problems have never been really resolved. The funds spent are unknown. Where are the flowers going?"

"Moreover, some alumni donated funds specially for students, which were also withheld. The audit and budget were unknown. The donations that should have been used for student expenses disappeared without any reason!"

As Hengshan spoke, he became a little agitated, "Just like what the professors said just now. After Takeuchi came to power, the atmosphere in the university became worse and worse. The administrative staff became more and more domineering. We students have already felt the attitude of the school towards us. Indifference, disregard for our demands!"

Ochi listened very carefully, and after listening to the student council president's statement, he immediately looked at the people in the room, "Takeuchi's 'university does not support idlers' policy is actually bureaucratizing scholars, using the so-called The assessment and indicators imprison the power of the academic self-government.”

"But——why did Takeuchi's policy cause so much dissatisfaction, why can it continue?" Ochi asked suddenly.

Everyone in the room didn't seem to expect the professor's sudden question, and they all froze for a moment, then fell silent.Yes, why do bad people always live a long life, but good people have a bad death.Why is it that the vice-chancellor, who has aroused so much dissatisfaction, can firmly occupy the throne of university power?

"Takeuchi has a lot of grievances within the university, but the key to standing still is profit." Ochi said solemnly, "The competition between national universities for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's budget has become increasingly fierce. Takeuchi's reforms can make Kyoto Universities are more aggressive in fighting for budgets. Also, now that there are rumors that Takeuchi is about to become a candidate for the Society for the Promotion of Science, university regents are more willing to tolerate Takeuchi in this regard.”

"However, the use of such high-pressure methods will eventually cause irreversible damage to the university's ecology. It is for short-term interests at the expense of long-term depletion. I think everyone here has deep feelings for the university. It is precisely this This feeling supports us to act and do something."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."

"It is the interests that make Takeuchi so powerful in the university. Similarly, once the university understands that Takeuchi is not in line with his interests, he will be cut off by the university in an instant."

"What exactly is Professor Ochi's thinking?" A scholar couldn't help asking.

"We want the university to clearly see that Takeuchi has brought more harm than benefit to Kyoto University." Ochi continued, "If we want to bring down Takeuchi right now, there are two important starting points. The first starting point, It is the management chaos of the production and research enterprises of the Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University. The second starting point is the plagiarism incident of Mikiko Takeuchi’s research group. It can burn to the Faculty of Engineering but cannot spread to Takeuchi. With the latter alone, but without the former, although it can ignite the fire, it is only scattered sparks. If these two things can be ignited at the same time, forming a pincer attack on Takeuchi. Then I I believe that the management of the university will reconsider the appointment of Takeuchi."

"Now I have more and more report letters about production and research companies, and the materials in hand have been accumulated almost. However, the plagiarism incident of the doctoral students in Takeuchi's research group is very tightly blocked. For details, I will I don’t know much about it, I just heard that the doctoral student named Mikiko was still looking for a lawyer a while ago.”

"It's okay, I'll find time to contact and understand the situation." Hengshan said.

Ochi nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on the young man, "These two things are just a match. More importantly, let the university see the strength of the students. Let the university management see clearly what is The real power. Some people's small profits are definitely not the real power! The support of the students here requires Lao Hengshan."

On the same morning when Kitahara filed the administrative complaint, Ochi and the student union of the Kyoto University Professors' Association reached an anti-Takeuchi alliance. A battle to regain power within the university is about to begin...
