Chapter 290: Court Session
9:56 am.
Sakyo Ward District Court, Court No. 607.
This court session will be the last trial of this case. This inside information has been circulated to university insiders and various reporters and media through various channels. The last time the plaintiff Mikiko beat a witness in court, there is no doubt that the news
The social heat of this case has once again reached a new level. The last court session on this case has become an important window for people from all walks of life to observe the case and the situation of the university.
At this time, almost all the people in the first two rows of the auditorium were wearing formal suits. They all looked to be in their 50s or 60s. Although their faces were wrinkled, they all exuded a vague sense of coercion.
See, they are important people with power.
In the first row of the auditorium, third from the left are Yosuke Takayama, a member of the National University Corporate Evaluation Committee of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and Hisao Kitada, another member. The National University Corporate Evaluation Committee of Japan is to a certain extent the pope of national universities.
It is the center around which all national universities must revolve. This organization is equally important as the Academic Promotion Council, and is responsible for the resource allocation of Toyo National University.
Sharp-eyed reporters had already discovered that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology had actually sent officials to the scene in person. They were immediately shocked and immediately passed a note outside the court.
In addition to officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology present, Kyoto University Vice President Takeuchi accompanied him. At the same time, Provost Ms. Shiratori Erika, University Directors Naoto Kawashima and Jiro Fujishima, School Supervisor Masato Ohashi, and Chairman of the Degree Evaluation Committee Kenichiro Morii
, Chairman of the Academic Ethics Committee Kurimoto Yosuke, Director of the External Communication Department Teruhiro Ogiwara, Honorary Professor Shinoda Seijun of Kyoto University School of Law, Professor Muraki Hikoshiro of the Department of Life Sciences of the Faculty of Science, and many other heavyweights from universities were all present.
The aura of these big shots and the movements of their hands and feet are enough to make ordinary people feel an irresistible majesty.
Asakura Yan was sitting in the dock at the moment, looking down at the table, sorting out the materials that would be used in the next court debate. He had already felt that the university attached great importance to this trial. Officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were present in person.
, all key members of the university management were present. Before this court hearing, Kyoto University once again issued a statement that it would never tolerate any form of academic misconduct.
In this final battle, the armies of both sides finally lined up.
The most brutal final fight is about to take place.
Asakura Yan raised his head again and glanced at the seat opposite. Different from the previous court hearings, this time the male lawyer named Kitahara came to the plaintiff's seat. The other female lawyer did not appear. It seems that there should be two consecutive cases.
They have all given up on this lawsuit and want to save some manpower.
At this stage of the lawsuit, Asakura Yan had actually felt the strength of the young man opposite him.
However, it's a pity.
Young people will still be young people after all.
On this gorgeous stage of the final performance, you will be sent to the gallows.
Under the crowd's watch and gaze, experience failure personally.
Let you know what it means to overestimate your capabilities.
It is certainly a good thing for young people to dare to take challenges.
But since you have carried out this self-destructive provocation, you will have to suffer a corresponding painful defeat!
At this moment, all the judges on the trial bench have also taken their seats. Judge Kawada also wore a black robe and took the seat. He glanced at both sides of the court and saw that they were ready. Then he coughed lightly and announced: "Mikiko Tamai sues Kyoto University for revocation of her doctorate.
Yieucalyptus, the court is now in session!"
"Card!"
The sound of the gavel.
A slight popping sound resounded throughout the courtroom.
"In the last court hearing, after communicating with the lawyers of both the original and the defendant, the evidence of all parties has been presented, and corresponding evidence and cross-examination opinions have been conducted. Therefore, the court investigation phase has ended. Now entering the court debate phase, all parties should focus on Kyoto University's derogation
Express opinions on the legality of Mikiko’s doctorate. Regarding whether plagiarism is established in the entity of the paper, since both parties have already expressed their opinions during the evidence and cross-examination stage, they will not be repeated.”
】
"Do the attorneys of both parties have any objections to the focus of the dispute summarized by the collegial panel?"
"No objection," Zhuze replied.
"No objection." The young male lawyer at the plaintiff's table replied.
Judge Kawada immediately turned his head and looked at the defendant's seat, "Defendant's attorney. Now you will express your opinions on Kyoto University's deprivation of the plaintiff's doctorate."
Asakura Yan nodded slightly, then stood up and said loudly: "The chief referee. The defendant's attorney now makes the following arguments. After the two papers of the plaintiff, Ms. Tamai Mikiko, were retracted by the journals involved, Kyoto University immediately launched academic disapproval against the plaintiff.
End investigation. Among them, under the instruction of the University Degree Evaluation Committee, the Academic Committee convened a total of 30 professors to form an investigation team. During the investigation process, the university consulted the opinions of authoritative experts in the relevant fields of biology and also used authoritative electronic software.
Papers related to Eucalyptus were analyzed.”
"Subsequently, the university informed the plaintiff Mikiko through emails that experts from the investigation team would conduct interviews. During the interview process, the investigation team prepared corresponding investigation records in accordance with the university's internal regulations. The plaintiff Mikiko admitted to the university that the paper involved was plagiarized, and
Submit a letter of apology. Based on expert opinions, electronic software analysis results, investigation interviews, Mikiko's own letter of apology and other documents, Kyoto University held an internal meeting of the investigation team. During the meeting, experts from all parties voted that Mikiko's paper constituted plagiarism and her PhD should be revoked.
Bachelor of Science."
"Kyoto University sent Mikiko its decision to revoke her doctorate by mail and email, and informed her of the corresponding relief channels. Judging from the entire process of the university's handling of Mikiko, from the initial investigation to
From the intermediate investigation process to the final decision, all procedures were carried out in accordance with university regulations. The specific investigation was evidenced by both expert opinions and Mikiko's own admission. Accordingly, the university deprived her of her doctorate, legally and in compliance with regulations.
, and has sufficient factual evidence!”
Asakura Hiko speaks clearly and has a strong voice.
The great authority in administrative law suddenly took a step forward, and his voice suddenly rose a few points: "Unlike the legal and compliant investigation by the university, the plaintiff Mikiko has repeatedly reneged on her promises. She has overturned her previous decisions.
After writing the petition, he continued to harass relevant laboratories at Kyoto University, interfered with the school's normal scientific research work, and had many head-on conflicts with security personnel. Recently, the plaintiff beat a witness who was giving a testimony on the spot. All these incidents are enough to corroborate the plaintiff.
With such bad conduct, it is no wonder that he committed academic misconduct. The facts of this case are clear, and the university’s investigation was in compliance with regulations. It is easy to see what is right and wrong at a glance. The defendant’s attorney requested the court to dismiss all the plaintiff’s claims in accordance with the law to end this case.
What a ridiculous incident!"
In the courtroom, Asakura Hiko's voice reached the sky.
Like thunder rolling from the sky and war drums roaring.
Maximize the momentum of this top expert...
