理事長に林真理子氏内定　学長は元総長酒井氏選出へ―日大

　田中英寿前理事長（７５）による脱税事件など一連の不祥事を受け、新体制の構築を進める日本大の新理事長候補に日大芸術学部出身の作家の林真理子氏（６８）が内定したことが、関係者への取材で２日までに分かった。学長候補には元総長の酒井健夫氏（７８）が選ばれた。３日の理事会で承認された後、７月に就任する見通し。
　日大は新理事長について「５月末までの選出を目指す」としていたが、５月３０日にホームページで「より慎重に選考を進めたく、いま少しの時間が必要」として遅れることを発表していた。
　関係者によると、理事長は外部の有識者らで構成する委員会で選考し、林氏が候補者に内定した。林氏は山梨県出身で、１９７６年に日大芸術学部を卒業。８６年に直木賞を受賞し、２０１８年には紫綬褒章を受章した。（2022/06/02-09:28）

Nihon University plans to appoint award-winning Japanese novelist Mariko Hayashi as new chairwoman as part of efforts to rebuild the organization rocked by a series of scandals, sources familiar with the matter said Thursday.
   A committee of outside experts set up by the Japanese university chose Hayashi, 68, as its candidate for new chairwoman, the sources said.
   Takeo Sakai, former president of the university, has won a vote at a 64-member recommending committee to become new president.
   The university's board is expected to approve the appointments of Hayashi and Sakai, 78, on Friday, and they are likely to assume their positions in July, the sources said.
   Nihon University had said it would select a new chair by the end of May. On Monday, however, it said it requires a little more time to conduct the selection process more carefully.
