However, many students and faculty members were quick to point out that such actions were not only unethical but also illegal. The university has since come under fire for its decision-making process and is now facing an investigation by the Japanese government into its practices. The student who initially brought this issue to light is a Ritsumeikan University student who stated “It’s obvious why there was so much backlash against them; my gut feeling tells me this was wrong”. It appears that despite having no legal ramifications, the university still chose to pursue these deals which have since caused quite a stir among both students and faculty alike. In response to these allegations, Ritsumeikan University has released a statement saying they are currently looking into the matter and will take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
