Society's expectations of universities to develop human resources for the 21st century and to promote advanced academic research are increasing. In addition to the traditional roles of education and research, the expectations of universities to contribute to public welfare, cultural improvement and social development through education, research, medical care and the dissemination of the results of these activities are also expanding to reflect the diverse needs of society.
In order for universities to fulfill their public role in response to the broad demands of society, faculty members must be willing to carry out education, research, medical care and social cooperation with a sense of mission and a sense of ethics. The foundation of the sense of mission and professional ethics of faculty members involved in education and research is rooted in respect for human rights and integrity towards students and other concerned parties.
The faculty members of Kitasato University, who are engaged in advanced academic research and the development of professionals in the fields of life and medical sciences, stand on this foundation with autonomous will, and under the
founding spirit (Kitasato spirit), the
philosophy and educational policy of
the university, support students' learning and help them to become active They are expected to be the forerunners of intellectual activity, guiding students to achieve their own entry goals as active learners.
The University's faculty must be aware that this should be their first priority. As a private university, we are obliged to meet the financial obligations of our students with the results of our education, and this is also part of our accountability. The above understanding is the premise of the "Kitasato University Faculty Profile".
