Japanese Academic Societies Unite to Release a Joint Statement to Protect the Independence of the Science Council of Japan
Japanese scholars have met the Prime Minister Suga’s decision to reject the candidacy of six humanities and social sciences scholars for the Science Council of Japan with grave concern. 226 academic societies in the humanities and social sciences in Japan issued a Joint Statement on November 6th. Since then, the number of co-signers has reached 310. On December 2nd, they issued the same statement in English, gave a press interview and appealed to scholars and citizens worldwide for support and cooperation.
The Science Council of Japan, which is a national academy and not a federation of academic societies, does not directly represent the interests of the societies. Nevertheless, the societies are deeply concerned with the issue as the Prime Minister’s rejection of appointment not only violates the independence of the Science Council of Japan but also further threatens academic freedom, autonomy and democracy in Japan.

Statement by the Japan Association for Northern European Studies in response to the refusal to appoint certain members of the Science Council of Japan
The refusal of the Prime Minister to appoint six of the 25th term candidates recommended by the Science Council of Japan means impeding the independent development of academia, and our Association strongly protests such behavior. We support the action of the Science Council of Japan. Our Association will cooperate with other academic organizations and the nation to maintain the independence of the Science Council of Japan and to protect academic freedom.
