FY2004-FY2007 Performance evaluation

An evaluation was conducted in FY 2008 of performance in the four years from FY2004 to FY2007 to serve as the basis for "Evaluation of performance in the mid-term objectives period (1st period: FY2004-FY2009)."
The evaluation assists in reexamining the overall state of their organization and performance conducted voluntarily by national university corporations and in formulating mid-term objectives and mid-term plans for the next mid-term period. The valuation is conducted one year before the end of the current mid-term objectives period so that results can be reflected in computing operating expenses and government subsidies for the next mid-term objectives period.
