History
The university's predecessor was founded as Asahikawa Sewing Vocational School in 1898 by Sawai Hyōjirō. In 1904, it was renamed Asahikawa Girls' Sewing School.[5]
In 1968, it was chartered as a university as Kitanihon Gakuin University and renamed Asahikawa University in 1970.[5]
The university's graduate school was established in 1999, with the establishment of the Graduate School of Economics.[5]
Lawsuit
The university became known for being party to a legal action involving the dismissal of a non-Japanese "English as a Foreign Language" teacher. The teacher was dismissed because it was believed she had lost her "freshness" and was unable to teach foreign culture, as she had been employed by the university for an extended period and was married to a Japanese national. The case was subject to appeals by both sides and was finally found in favor of the university as the Supreme Court declined to hear the employee's final appeal.[6]
