- column4：Efforts of Gender Equality Measures at IPU
Due to the increased number of students, the revenue of student payments such as tuition has increased in the 2014 academic year.
Along with the continuous efforts from the previous year to acquire competitive funds, commissioned research funds and joint research funds, by utilizing subsidies and contracted projects, we enhanced the regional collaboration between industry and academia and support service for student employment as well as developing human resource for the next generation.
Furthermore, we concentrated on reviewing and strengthening details of the projects, and while we work to reduce costs by improving the efficiency of administrative tasks, we once again set up and promoted “the Special Budget for Enhancing Educational Abilities” with the purpose-specific reserve fund as its resource and took measures to enhance and strengthen the education and research activities by systematically allocating the budget to projects that contribute to improving the quality of education.
1 “Assets offsetting liabilities” is a special measure for public university corporations, used so that depreciation does not affect the calculation of profits and losses.
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.

Revenue and expenditures for Academic Year 2014(A-B) 162,148,000 yen
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.
Regarding the expenditure, due to the increased labor cost (retirement allowance) following the increasing number of retirees and also the increased general management cost, as the facility repair cost and the design outsourcing cost related to the facility repairing in 2015 academic year both increased, approximately ¥184,460,000 were added to the expenditure in 2014 academic year compared to the previous year.
Day care service at Open campus in July 2015
Through the survey of the needs related to Gender Equality at IPU in 2013 academic year, the necessity of establishing and supporting the workplace where faculty members and staff can balance the demands of work and private life has become clear.
Moreover, considering the increasing needs such as child care support organized by volunteers from“Project Research Group at Faculty of Social Welfare”, we established the “Gender Equality Promotion Center” in April 2015 in order to promote Gender Equality for the whole university.
In the 2015 academic year, both Gender Equality Promotion Center and the Research Group have advanced their efforts, for instance they organized temporary day care service for faculty members and staff who have to work on their pre-scheduled day off.
From now on, we aim to plan and proceed necessary projects which meet the needs at IPU in order to promote Gender Equality regardless of people's gender, profession and position, but take some features such as their affiliation into consideration.
Since 2013 academic year, we've also been participating in the “Contributing to Iwate’s Post-Disaster Reconstruction through Supporting Female Researchers” project (Program to Support Research Activities of Female Researchers. [Hub type] ) organized by Iwate University, as its cooperative organization.
