After opinions were exchanged, it was decided that the report would be proposed tothe Board of Executives as on the draft.
B. Settlements of Accounts for FY2008
Regent Kanno provided explanations on the settlements of account for FY2008.
After the following exchange of opinions, it was decided that the report would beproposed to the Board of Executives as on the draft.

(Opinions, etc.)○ Do faculty members have any dissatisfaction with facilities and equipment as aresults of cost cutting measures which have been taking at the University, such as
extension of leasing period?
・Faculty members may have requests on an individual bases. However, for major
issues, perhaps, faculty members have already made requests or requested forimprovements. Therefore, I believe that there are no complaints at present.

・Although there are nothing wrong with reserve funds as “Appropriated surplus”,
but I think it might be better for the University to utilize the funds being putting
on in practical use.

○ According to the explanation, reduction in subsidies from the Government ofFukushima Prefecture is the main reason for the decreasing in the University’s
total amount of ordinary revenue. Have the subsidies been decreased two years
in a row?
・The amount of subsidies from the Prefecture is reduced every year.

・ What are measures to be taken by the University?
・ It may be possible for Fukushima medical University to increase ordinary revenue
through income from hospital operations. However, the University of Aizu, which
has no such means to increase revenue, should focus on education and research inconsidering the use of funds while making every effort to cut down on costs. Inaddition, as university dormitories is scheduled to be established as described in
the mid-term plans, the University intends to spend appropriate part of“appropriated surplus” funds for this kind of project.
○ It would be desirable that the University has some features and ideas which
attract private sectors for investments, although it is not for the purpose of theUniversity to make profits from such investments. For instance, establishment oforganizations, such as TLO, may be preferable. If the University would make thepractical first step, it would make it easier for private companies to seek
collaboration with the University.
・ I think it’s very important that the UBIC are redefined and discussions are maderegarding specific activities to be performed by UBIC. It is also important thatdue consideration is given to what kind of team or members should makediscussions. I hope that we will be given opportunities to discuss these issues indepth.

computers to share a computer system with others in spite of possessing its own system.
