財界の要求実行に前のめりな野田内閣に、財界側の注文も露骨さを増しています。最近では「大学の統廃合」まで公然と求めるに至っています。
　「次世代の育成」などを議題とした４月９日の政府の国家戦略会議に、米倉弘昌日本経団連会長、長谷川閑史経済同友会代表幹事ら民間議員５人連名の提案文書が提出されました。提案文書では、国立大学法人の運営費交付金や私学助成について「抜本的にメリハリ」をつけた配分を要求。こうした手法も「活用しながら」、「統廃合等の促進を含む大学改革を促進」するよう迫っています。
　そこには、「世界で活躍し、イノベーションを起こす人材」が必要だなどとする産業界の要求と、大学が育成する学生像とに「ミスマッチ」が生じているとして、海外に拠点を広げる大企業に使い勝手のよい人材を供給するよう、高等教育を再編したいという財界のねらいがあります。
 　国立大学運営費交付金や私学助成は大幅削減が続けられる一方で、今年度予算に「国立大学改革強化推進事業」（１３８億円）が新設され、文科省内にタスクフォース（特別任務のプロジェクト・チーム）を設けて「大学群」創出など大学再編を推進させようとしています。提案文書は、予算面でもこうした大学間の選別をさらに強め、経営的にも大学を追い詰めて統廃合に向かわせるよう、国に促したものです。
 　会議では、欠席した米倉会長のコメントも紹介され、「現下の課題は『戦略』ではなく『実行』にある」などと、政府にハッパをかけています。
　これら民間議員の要求をうけ、野田首相は、５月に文科省の「取組方針」を報告するよう、平野博文文科相に指示しました。日本の学術の発展を阻害する危険な動きです。
 　これは共産党機関紙「赤旗」に掲載された記事です。共産党の意見と逆の方向に進めばいいでしょうから高等教育を見直して大学統廃合に拍車をかけるべきでしょうね。
