Japan's Science Council (日本学術会議) is transitioning to a special corporation on October 1st. The new council has announced 125 new members, notably excluding the six candidates previously rejected for appointment in 2020. Concerns have been raised about a proposed membership selection criterion potentially involving "security concerns," sparking fears of ideological checks and stifled academic freedom. Some affiliated members have expressed intent to resign due to the new legal framework.
