Abstract
Japanese interest in research on higher education was expressed at the first organizational meeting of the Six Nation Education Research Project in December 1993. Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) also thought that it would be useful to involve the Research Institute for Higher Education at Hiroshima University. MEXT chose a higher education study as Japan's responsibility because Japan was facing a critical point in higher education policy: emerging economic retrenchment. In the discipline of higher education research, academic reform is a central theme that can supply the necessary framework for basic and applied research. Consistent with American experience, Japanese higher education also had developed linearly from elite to a mass stage. A comprehensive study of academic reforms in the areas of higher education systems in which research, teaching, social service, and management and administration constitute an overall objective.
