In the 2013 academic year, with the efforts of strategic acquisition of aspiring students, revenue from student payments as tuition, matriculation and examination fees have increased because of increased the number of applicants and students. As well as continuous efforts from the last year to acquire competitive fund, commissioned research fees and joint research fees, we enhanced the regional collaboration between industry and academia and support business for student employment.
In addition to budget execution such as rechecking and emphasizing on the business contents, we established and promoted “enhancing educational ability” as a purpose-specific funding resource to improve the quality of education.

When fixed assets are acquired, an amount equivalent to these assets will be calculated as liabilities, and whenever expenses are incurred from depreciation, the amount will be reserved to income.

Approximately 70% of revenue is from operational subsidies provided by the prefecture, and although according to the prefecture’s calculation rules there will be a downward trend (a reduction of 0.7% each year), we have made efforts on the increase revenue by the rise in student payments, acquirement of external funds and utilization of grants.

To promote human resource cultivation for administrative office staff, we established “Human Resource Cultivation CFT for administrative officers in Iwate Prefectural University” in the year of 2012 and we discussed and made a report what desired staff is and the expected ability the staff should have . By using the report for reference, the basic principle for human resource cultivation at the office was indicated and the Vision and Plan for Human Resource Cultivation for Administration Office in Iwate Prefectural University was designed to promote approach for human resource cultivation such as various systems and practical trainings to support for voluntary self-development and its framework to implement.
For the vision of cultivation, “the staff who can plan independently and achieve it cooperatively with teachers from students’ and local perspectives in anytime in order to realize the founding principles” is indicated to be a desired staff and we established following three basic attitudes. ① make the system to sustain the growth of staff ( staffs who are aware of one’s role as a university staff and are able to handle internal and external environmental changes flexibly while sophisticating the expertness with the mind of development) ② make the environment where human resource can develop (workplace where supporting self-development and self-realization through business with placing emphasis on rewarding job for each individual) ③ make the environment where is comfortable for working (the place where the staff is able to fully display their expertise, willingness, and ability with harmonize relationship with the family and community life)
For the plan of cultivation, we are also going to promote reformation of the practical training system, introduction of job-rotation for career development, and streamlining of personnel evaluation system to realize development and improvement of the expected potentiality based on the basic principles of the cultivation vision.
