The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the university decentralization policy has influenced variations in the percentage of applicants for admission to universities between prefectures and to suggest the policy implication of the reconsideration of the policy which is being argued now. In the second section I investigate the articles which were concerned with the effect of the policy of correction of the variations in application rates. In the third section I analyze the time series change of the variations in acceptance and application rates between prefectures. And in the fourth section I make a regression analysis to examine the effect of the policy of correction of the variations in application rates. To conclude, the university decentralization policy has influenced the variation in application rates. But the university decentralization and the correction of variation in application rates have not progressed or retreated since 1986 because the policy has been weakened. If the university decentralization policy is removed, it is expected that the variations in application rates will expand. So I think that the reconsideration of the university decentralization policy should be argued fully from various view points.
