Positive / Negative toward: the University of Tokyo's selection process for its next president
Negative points
The explanation never says what the real reasons for picking this person were.
They threw out the faculty votes and let a small committee decide. Why even hold the vote?
Saying "we picked them because we picked them" is not an explanation at all.
