This month Canon promoted Uchida to vice president, a move that hints he may succeed outgoing president Fujio Mitarai.

Should they succeed, the Faculty will have severely crippled the likelihood of finding a dean who can effectively liaise between themselves and Summers.More broadly, there has been a lack of conspicuous wrongdoing on Summers’ part in the intervening time between last March’s no-confidence vote and the impending...
