Without validity for charging a high tuition, the number of applicants will decrease and the enrollment will decline as well. It is inevitable to a certain degree, however, that tuition is going to be high if one aims to provide a quality education to only a limited number of students. What needs to be done, then, is to take some measures so that ICU will be better valued. Of course, I think it is a problem if the tuition is much higher than that of other universities, so we need to work on that. That said, I think we will be facing various types of financial difficulties in the future.
Public relations is also very important.
We must publicize the existence, education, and philosophy of ICU in various ways. It will be necessary to work with the alumni association, and to have faculty and staff members speak out at various opportunities. The general education I experienced was in high school before the Second World War, and this seemed to have possessed some liberal arts qualities. Back then, high school provided liberal arts education. I think it is very beneficial that both the humanities and science courses are part of the ICU curriculum.
