Q:
Shortly after 1 PM today, on the first floor of the Komaba cafeteria, an elderly person, who appeared to be quite old, was making baseless accusations against some Chinese international students who were chatting and eating, telling them, "You're in the way, this is Japan, speak Japanese." I
don't think the international students were speaking loudly or causing any other disturbance. Although I can't judge by appearance, I suspect the elderly person was from outside the university, but I was shocked to see such blatant xenophobia on campus. I think it's
good that the university cooperative's facilities are open to many people, not just those on campus, but precisely because of that, I think the cooperative should express its commitment to ensuring that these spaces, which are an integral part of the university (and a very important one at that, as they provide food), are safe places for people of all nationalities, ethnicities, and genders to use, and that such hatred will not be tolerated. I hope they will also make an appeal to users in the cafeteria.
A:
As you mentioned, the University of Tokyo itself is an open university that is used not only by students and faculty but also by local residents and tourists, and the Co-op facilities are used by a variety of people. We would like to convey that it is a place that everyone can use with peace of mind, which is also the Co-op's wish
