大学を英語でa university と言います。これはラテン語の universitas に由来し、“a whole” を指します。つまり総べてひっくるめて“all-inclusive” の総合知の学舎を「大学」と呼びます。（ウイキペディアにも載ってますよ）「大学」には「学問の自由」が不可欠で、ここ９００年ほどの伝統です。今回の日本学術会議会員候補６人の任命拒否・人事介入問題で、現政権はそういった「広い視野」に乏しいということが明らかになった気がします。
I visited Okinawa last month. Okinawa hosts 74 % of the U.S. bases on 0.6 % of the land. Despite overwhelming opposition, the Japanese government is taking the lead in efforts to build a new U.S. military base in Henoko Bay, emphasizing the deterrence value of the U.S. bases in Japan. Our policy makers want to proceed with the construction "shuku shuku to (calmly and solemnly)."
It is shockingly mindless and undemocratic to disregard the Okinawans' will. Here are some of useful websites on anti-U.S. base acitivities and protests (see the Japanese version – four of eleven sites are in English).
