These flags would seem to be flags of the School of Dentistry, rather than of the university. They are red, with gold fringe, and have a gold university emblem above gold text 日本大學歯學部 (Nihon University School of Dentistry).
The emblem itself seems to be a stylized version of 學 (meaning "learning, knowledge") above a wreath.
And Auburn University includes a picture (at a sports event?) of a red flag with the emblem in black above the name of the economics/business department of the university, in black. Perhaps each department has flags like these two examples.

The University history page states: "1936 The University Flag designed."
Then there is the logo of course (red written 'N' with large dot recalling the sun disk on the national flag).

Located in Chiyoda City Tokyo and established in 1920. The embroidered ceremonial flag has red background with a gold emblem in gold fringe. The university flag has red background with a white emblem and white kanji university name written horizontally. Red was designated as the school color in 1921, the school flag was produced in 1922, and the school flag was designated as the university flag in 1936. The university emblem is a combination of the petals and leaves of the cherry blossom, the national flower of Japan and the symbol of the university, with a design of the word "大學".
