In April 2015, the University established the Office for the Promotion of Diversity, the purpose of which is to provide assistance so that persons with diverse attributes can function as fully involved human assets of the university without regard to race, gender, nationality, disability, age, etc. In order to proactively make the university a more diverse place, in March 2015, the University issued a declaration that it would promote diversity and adopted five fundamental policies to promote diversity. In addition, within the Office for the Promotion of Diversity, the Gender Cooperation Promotion Office (formerly the Gender Equality Office) works actively to promote greater gender equality.
