In the past few years, faced with difficulties caused by the low birth rate, public and private universities have been considering to merge with other universities in order to make faculty adjustments as well as combine with two or more faculties within the universities. It seems that these universities aim to use re-organization as a means to respond to the challenges posed by the low birth rate. This article focuses on the legal basis of the faculty adjustments or merges based on the constitutional rights involved, and the extent to which the education authorities may intervene in such adjustments. Since such measures are important decisions related to the academic freedom which in particular involves the conflicts of constitutional rights between individual members within the universities and the universities, education officials must carefully investigate, review, and evaluate relevant legal rights and interests before deciding whether or not to exercise their supervisory authority. It is suggested that the university charter should also specify the organizational and procedural requirements in terms of proposing and reviewing the faculty adjustments.
