（共同社）——东京大学周一宣布，已选定藤垣由子为下一任校长，接替藤井辉夫，她将成为日本顶尖学术机构的首位女性领导者。
(Kyodo) -- The University of Tokyo said Monday it selected Yuko Fujigaki as its next president to succeed Teruo Fujii, making her the first woman to lead Japan's top academic institution.
64岁的藤垣是文学部教授，专攻科学技术研究。她的六年任期将于四月开始。
Fujigaki, 64, a professor affiliated with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, has expertise in science and technology studies. Her six-year term will begin in April.
在教授和工作人员的投票中，她位列第二。校方表示，经过“全面考量”后选定了她。她的任期正值该校寻求加强治理之际，此前曾发生涉及教职人员的腐败丑闻。这所享有盛誉的学府以培养顶尖学者和政府官员而闻名。
After a vote by fellow professors and staff, she came in second. The university said she was chosen following "comprehensive consideration." Her tenure comes as the university seeks to strengthen its governance in the wake of corruption scandals involving faculty members. The prestigious school is known for producing top scholars and government officials.
