東京女子医大、岩本理事長の解任決定　本人除く理事全員一致―不正支出疑惑

　同窓会組織を巡る不正支出疑惑などの問題を受け、東京女子医大（東京都新宿区）の理事会は７日、岩本絹子理事長の解任を可決した。関係者によると、岩本氏以外の理事全員一致で決定した。
　丸義朗学長を含む理事計１０人は引責辞任を表明しており、今後役員は総入れ替えとなる見通し。新体制成立までは暫定的に肥塚直美理事が理事長を務める。
　関係者によると、同日開かれた理事会で、岩本氏は「辞任するつもりはあるがまだだ」などと述べたため、他の理事らが解任を要求し議決に至ったという。理事長職は解任されたが、手続き上の関係で理事にはとどまっており、近く評議員会が開かれ理事も解任される。（2024/08/07-21:39）

The board of Tokyo Women's Medical University has voted to dismiss Chancellor Kinuko Iwamoto over suspected illegal expenditure linked to its alumnae association Shiseikai.
   All of the board's 11 members other than Iwamoto backed her dismissal at its meeting Wednesday, sources said. The 10 members, including President Yoshiro Maru, have expressed their intent to resign from the board to take responsibility for the scandal.
   Board member Naomi Hizuka will serve as chancellor provisionally until the launch of a new leadership team.
   At Wednesday's meeting, Iwamoto said, "I intend to resign, but not yet," according to the sources. Other board members then demanded her dismissal, leading to the day's vote.
   Even after the dismissal, Iwamoto will stay on as a board member for now. She will be discharged from the board in the near future after related procedures are completed.
