Many Japanese private institutions, including half the junior colleges (which cater heavily to women), have lost money in the last two years. Causes include decreasing overall enrollments stemming from a falling birth rate, economic recession, and an increase in the number of new institutions.

Measures to make institutions more attractive often center on attracting nontraditional students--businesspeople, homemakers, and retirees.

There will be a 10-month feasibility study from this summer, with the university slated to open shortly thereafter.
