[1] The College (MIC) was founded in 1994 by Miyazaki Gakuen, a chartered educational corporation established in 1939.

In 2015, MIC cut the salaries of contracted faculty over the age of sixty by twenty percent, resulting in outrage among the university community.

However, plaintiffs appealed to the Miyazaki Branch of the Fukuoka High Court.

On 8 December 2021, the Court ruled in favour of the educators, and sanctioned MIC for its illegal actions under Japanese labour laws.

Head judge Ryousuke Takanashi said that "for the educators, this is disproportionate, and the university did not even take measures that would alleviate the disadvantages that come with such a pay cut", rebuking MIC.
