Another university says women treated unfairly

Juntendo University in Tokyo treated female applicants unfairly during its medical school's entrance examinations in 2017 and 2018, a report said on Monday. The unfair treatment started possibly as early as 2008, the report claimed. The university explained that it raised the bar for women in entrance exams in order to "narrow the gap with male students" in interviews, in which women generally did better than men. The findings were revealed as part of a government-ordered probe into 81 schools across the country for other instances of test-score rigging, after news came to light in August that Tokyo Medical University had for years doctored the scores of female applicants.
