Yukioka has admitted that it altered test scores for 20 years in order to restrict the number of female students accepted. He said the investigation also suggested that the school’s former director took money from some parents who sought preferential treatment for their sons and that the manipulation was part of a deep-rooted culture that lacked fairness and transparency. The scandal came to light during an investigation into allegations that a bureaucrat’s son had been granted admission to the school in exchange for favourable treatment for the university in relation to research funds. The school is considering retroactively admitting those falsely excluded. The proportion of female doctors passing Japan ’s national medical exam has remained static at Nearly 50% for over over a decade , leading to fears that other universities have also discriminated against women.
