The president of a prominent Japanese university is requesting a guarantee for campus security that stretches for a period of over 20 years. This comes in the wake of numerous incidents globally that have highlighted the need for safety in education institutions. The proposed measure could mean fundamental changes in risk management and security protocols in Japanese campuses.

In Japan, campus security has always been a priority but it's gaining more attention in recent years due to global events. If implemented, this long-term security assurance could signal a shift in the educational culture, pushing universities nationwide to be more proactive in student safety measures. Japan's society, being traditionally protective of its young citizens, is likely to support such initiatives.

In contrast, in the US or EU, security protocols in educational institutions are already well-defined and stringent. These countries have had to deal with numerous on-campus incidents, thus, necessitating strict security guidelines. The proposed concept in Japan could be seen as a proactive measure drawing inspiration from Western methodology but with a long-term commitment which is relatively rare in the West.
