In the conference room, the vice-president had already taken his seat. His expression was a little gloomy. The lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses blocked his eyes, making it difficult to see what the majestic vice-president was thinking. The most senior person at Kyoto University

The huge sense of oppression exuded by powerful figures made many people present feel suffocated.

Takeuchi took a seat and glanced at his watch. Kyoto University has been very uneasy recently. There are always flies buzzing in his ears. Since he was re-elected as the vice president of Kyoto University, there have been various incidents on campus.

Forces are surging under the surface, and they are constantly gathering strength to oppose themselves.

However, all this opposition is in vain.

The vote of the campus board of directors irrefutably confirmed that he is the vice president of Peking University. No matter how much the insect cries, it will never have the power to shake the elephant.

However, Kyoto University seems to be constantly harassed by unwarranted lawsuits recently.

Takeuchi remembered that he had participated in Fujimura's disciplinary meeting not long ago. Fujimura was exiled to a remote research institute because of a ridiculous case of plagiarism in ancient books. And today, he had to attend a report on a lawsuit.

"Are we going to start the report? Vice Principal Takeuchi." An administrator next to him cautiously asked, "Today's things happened quite suddenly. It's really hard."

Takeuchi held the information in his hand and began to scan his eyes. Before coming, he had already read the information on this case. There is no doubt that what Takeuchi is most concerned about is that the defense lawyer in this case announced that he will pursue the university department.

It may constitute the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets.

After experiencing the ups and downs of administrative positions at Kyoto University in the past few years, Takeuchi has realized that one university is not enough to realize his ambition to reform academia. He wants to go to a higher level stage to show his ambition.

Although Takeuchi was also a scholar, he could not understand the unique style of intellectuals that was undisciplined and disobedient. The reason why the Japanese academic community was at a disadvantage in the fierce world competition was this lack of discipline.

As a result, there must be an external coercive force to tame intellectuals, so that the Japanese academic community can truly shine again.

The stage Takeuchi aimed at was the Society for the Promotion of Academic Affairs.

He intends to run for election as a member of the Academic Promotion Council during his tenure as vice president.

The Academic Promotion Council is an administrative corporation established in Japan specifically to promote research. It is almost in charge of the allocation and distribution of scientific research funds throughout Japan. No matter which university it is, even if it is a first-class university like Kyoto University or the University of Tokyo,

You must also bow your head obediently in front of the Academic Promotion Association.

Money is a lifeline.

The Academic Promotion Council, which controls nearly all of Japan's scientific research funds, is the lifeline of many universities.

It is precisely because of this that Takeuchi pays close attention to the issue of private division of state-owned assets raised by the defense lawyer. If the entire case really rises to the issue of collective private division of state-owned assets by units, then there is no doubt that this will have a negative impact on himself.

The matter of competing for the membership of the Academic Promotion Council had a great impact.

Takeuchi flipped through the information and said, "I have no interest in a researcher being involved in corruption. After all, it is not surprising that young people will become greedy when they see so much scientific research funds passing through. But the problem is

The question lies in whether the so-called private division of state-owned assets raised by the lawyer will really involve the top management of the Faculty of Engineering. This is the question I want to know most."

At this time, a senior criminal law professor in the Faculty of Law said: "Vice President Takeuchi, don't worry about this. To constitute the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets, the state-owned assets must be privately divided in the name of the company. Judging from the current progress of the case

It seems that Morimoto's behavior was his personal behavior. To say the least, even if Sawada, the director of the joint research institute, and others did instruct individual personnel to let Morimoto borrow the accelerated tube. This was only their personal behavior and not very serious.

It may rise to the level of private division of state-owned assets."

"But -" Takeuchi asked, "judging from the current case information, it is very likely that the US dollar payments for the export of those accelerated tubes will be divided privately. The same behavior can be viewed from different angles.

Different views and interpretations. The question is how the prosecutor’s office interprets it.”

"I heard." Takeuchi paused and continued, "The lawyer seems to be trying to plead not guilty. If the not guilty plea is successful, then the prosecutor's office will have to find another scapegoat.

"

"Vice President," said the senior criminal law professor of the Faculty of Law, "the possibility of innocence is extremely slim, less than 40% of 10,000. It is basically impossible to truly acquit. This is tantamount to asking for public power.

It is impossible for the agency to admit that they have arrested the wrong person. No one will admit that they have done something wrong."

Takeuchi's eyes once again scanned the materials in his hand and began to read them carefully word by word. "The question is, how big the space is here. If the prosecutor's office really turns around and comes to trouble us, is there any legal risk?"

.”

The professor of criminal law shook his head and replied: "Vice President. The current possibility of being involved in the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets is nothing more than the third corruption fact charged by the prosecutor's office - that is, the matter of accelerating management through private borrowing. However, the Joint Research Institute is

It is jointly invested by state-owned funds and private funds. It is not a completely state-owned research institute. Therefore, from the perspective of criminal law, it is not actually the subject of the crime of privately dividing state-owned assets. The defense lawyer is just scaring people.

That’s all.”

Takeuchi continued to flip the paper in his hand, "Why are we so passive about this matter?"

"Mainly...mainly, I don't know why the Accounting Inspection Agency actually sided with the defense lawyer. There is a lot of unfavorable evidence that the Accounting Inspection Agency obtained for the defense lawyer." The criminal law scholar replied.

The Accounting Inspection Service... Takeuchi frowned slightly and began to think. Is the Accounting Inspection Service planning to conduct a thorough investigation into the use of scientific research funds at Kyoto University? This is unlikely. I am afraid it would not even dare to give it ten ounces of courage. It is the top university in Japan.

, how can an accounting inspection agency investigate it?

Takeuchi sneered, "In this case, we can't be so passive. The Accounting Inspection Office can collect evidence for the defense lawyer, can't we submit the evidence to the prosecutor's office to convict Morimoto? You know, we at Kyoto University are Morimoto.
Chapter completed!
