Q:
Just after 1:00 p.m. today, on the first floor of Komaba Dining Hall, an elderly man who appeared to be quite old started accusing some Chinese international students who were eating and chatting, saying, "You're in the way. This is Japan. Speak Japanese."
I don't think these international students were talking loudly or causing any trouble to those around them. Although it's impossible to judge by appearance, I think the elderly people were probably from outside the university, but I never expected to see such blatant xenophobia on campus, and it was a shock to me.
I think it is a good thing that the Co-op's facilities are open to many people, not just those on campus, but that is precisely why I think it is important that the Co-op, as one of the spaces that make up the university (and which is extremely important as it is responsible for food), should make it clear that it is a place that can be used safely regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or gender, and that such hatred will not be tolerated, and that they should also make this clear to users at 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.
