The news that Morimoto was acquitted quickly caused a stir. Some of the materials previously submitted by Kitahara to the court also revealed the chaotic management of industrial and research enterprises. If there is no result in this criminal case, then who will do it?

We should be responsible for all of this. With such a huge amount invested every year in the industry-research cooperation strategy, how can we not pay attention to the final flow of these funds?

On the night when the court announced the acquittal, major local news newspapers and publications such as "Kyoto Shimbun", "Kyo Jour", "Kansai Daily", "Kyoto Weekly", "Kyo News", "Kyo News", "Heian Kyo News" etc.

A long report on Morimoto’s corruption case. At the same time, various local TV stations also broadcast the scene of Morimoto leaving that was captured by reporters in the underground garage of the court.

At night, the TV screens in hotels, restaurants, and izakayas in the streets and alleys of this thousand-year-old capital are all flashing real-time reports related to this judicial case. Office workers who have finished work are holding wine glasses and carrying a few glasses of wine.

Drunk faces were loudly discussing this incident one after another.

“Is university also a place to make money?!”

"of course!"

“With so much funding from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology every year, where do you think it all goes?”

"You know, my daughter is studying at Kyoto University. The faculty and staff at the university are busy applying for projects all day long. They just do random things in class for students, read textbooks, and read PPT, but they can't learn anything at all."

"What kind of talents can a university like this produce in the future? What's the point?"

"People euphemistically call it a research-oriented university, and teaching is only secondary."

"A while ago, wasn't it revealed that the dean of a certain university department was exposed to a row of luxury cars in the garage of his villa? Gee, they really know how to make money."

"I'm envious."

"No wonder, I said why are there so many high-end restaurants around the university."

"Haha, this happened a few years ago. Now these high-end restaurants are opened directly in the university. Even if you are not an employee of the university, you can't get in."

"How can they live so comfortably?!"

"Of course. The so-called research is left to the young scholars who have just come in. Anyway, there are so many PhD graduates every year. If you don't want to do it, there will naturally be others who are willing to take teaching positions and do it for young people. As for teaching undergraduates.

According to others, giving classes to undergraduates lowers their status."

Discussions in the market and pressure from public opinion suddenly hit this top university in the East.

Night falls over Kyoto University.

Tonight is destined to be uneventful.

22:31, top floor of the Comprehensive Research Building, Vice President’s Office.

With a "bang" sound, the office door was slammed shut.

Nuo Da's office seemed to be shaking a bit because of the door closing.

Takeuchi sat in front of his desk with an extremely ugly expression. He had just returned from an internal meeting within the university. Before, Takeuchi pushed for the university to send a letter to the Sakyo District District Court. However, now, a not guilty verdict is simply a slap in the face.

It was a slap in the face of the university. At the meeting, even Takeuchi, who had always been extremely powerful, received extremely severe criticism from the big shots in the school. This was something that was absolutely unimaginable to happen before.

The more Takeuchi thought about it, the angrier he became.

Isn’t it said that Kyoto University has a monopoly on the legal profession in the entire Kansai region?! Isn’t it said that every judge in the tribunals of various prefectures and cities in Kyoto Prefecture is a graduate of Kyoto University?! At such a critical moment, who is an alumni, and who is from the legal field?

All connections are useless! You can’t even convict a clear criminal!

The vice-principal's veins were slightly bulging. He couldn't help but hit the table hard. The lid of the water glass "clanged" and made a clear and loud sound.

Takeuchi recalled the tit-for-tat scene at the university meeting today, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: That Ochi Takuya from the Faculty of Science only hinders me all day long!

The Ochi Takuya mentioned by the vice president is a professor in the Faculty of Science and a member of the Professor Autonomy Committee. He is about 62 years old this year and is a great authority in auditory nerve research in the field of biology. He once taught in the West and later led a team

Help colleagues with lofty ideals return to Japan and rebuild the biological field of Kyoto University. In a sense, the success of the Department of Biology at Kyoto University can be said to be the major contribution of Professor Ochi.

Ochi is a highly respected figure within Kyoto University. Before this, the university also intended to let him participate in administrative affairs and even run for vice president. But in the end, Ochi declined. After repeated requests and entreaties, Ochi finally entered the Professor Autonomy Committee.

.

From the beginning, Professor Ochi was Takeuchi's most determined opponent of university reforms. Before that, although scholars also needed to publish papers to obtain tenured professorships, the main evaluation power still rested with their fellow professors in the academic department. After Takeuchi's reform

, promoting high-pressure publication and project targets, and whether candidates can obtain tenure depends on whether they meet the publication requirements set by the university personnel committee.

It can be said that Professor Ochi was the only one at Kyoto University who dared to openly confront Takeuchi before.

In today's meeting, it was Ochi who fired fiercely at Takeuchi. As Ochi fired the shot, the forces that usually lurked in the undercurrent and opposed Takeuchi also surfaced and jointly criticized the vice principal.

.For a moment, there was an ethereal feeling of a storm coming.

"I want to see if you guys are really capable of pulling me down!" Takeuchi slammed the table angrily again, venting all his dissatisfaction.

However, the current situation is indeed a bit pessimistic.

Regarding reports on industrial and research enterprises, Takeuchi has actually used a lot of force to suppress them.

Although many local media in Kyoto have reported on Morimoto's corruption charges today, the wording of the relevant articles has been adjusted to be much milder. In order to achieve this step, the university has used many connections in the press. There are many more

No reports of lethality were released.

Takeuchi is preparing for the selection process for the Society for the Promotion of Academic Affairs, so he will never allow such negative news to spread.

However, Takeuchi is not sure how long he can keep suppressing it.

The vice-principal began to think about his next response strategy. After the confrontation at today's meeting, he became more and more convinced that this lawsuit might be aimed at Okawara and him. It must be that Ochi who instigated the lawyer behind the scenes in an attempt to muddy the situation.

.Who else could it be besides him?!

Although from now on, it is not very likely that the affairs of industrial and research enterprises will affect us, our opponents, as well as the conservative opposition forces in the university, will definitely continue to amplify this matter and drag us down.

.Now, I don’t know whether the Accounting Inspection Service’s intervention will continue.

"Kuang, kuang, kuang."
