東京大学が2027年秋に新設する「価値創造学部」(UTokyo College of Design)を巡り、SNSなどで否定的な意見が相次いでいる。「他の学部は価値を創造していないのか」といった名称への批判が、他学部の定員削減などへの疑問と重なって広がっている。

「価値創造学部」という名称について、Xなどで「他の学部は価値を創造していないということか」「空虚だ」「詐称と思われそう」などと批判的なポストが相次いだ。「価値創造」が創価学会の名称の由来と重なる点を指摘する投稿も目立った。

また「東京大学の学部案内」をうたったジョーク投稿で、「価値創造学部」以外の学部を「無価値創造学部群」に分類し、その下に「教養学部」「無教養学部群」、さらにその下に「法学部」「無法学部群」などと架空の組織図を作成したものが話題になった。

否定的な声が多い一方で、「意味が漠然とした(英名の)『カレッジ・オブ・デザイン』よりは『価値創造学部』のほうが分かりやすい」と評価する声も少数ながらある。

価値創造学部は、人文・社会科学、自然科学、工学などの学術知とデザインを組み合わせ、社会課題の解決や新たな価値の創出に取り組むという。学士・修士一貫の5年制で全授業を英語で実施し、入学定員は100人。あわせて既存学部の入学定員を再編し、文学部(-53人)や農学部(-40人)などで大きく減る予定だ。
