公私協力方式に関する一考察

―「公設民営方式」の場合―

抄録

This research paper considers the case of private universities and colleges (including junior colleges) which were established by supportive, self-governing bodies in prefectures, cities or towns since 1980. Six cases in which the public sector has established private universities and colleges are examined.

These include Tsuruga Women's Junior College (1986), Tohoku Arts University (1992), Nagaoka Formative Arts University (1994), Meio University (1994), Kochi Engineering University (1997), and Shizuoka University of Art and Culture (2000).

At present these institutions are operating with public money, but the institutions are managed as private schools. In general, these cases have been found to be difficult to manage after they have been opened schools due to financial shortages. At present one can see both good points and weak points of such an arrangement, yet in the future some problems are likely to arise.

Key words : Community, Public, Corporative methods, Private university established by Public sector, Private university supported by public funds.
