Honestly this is the tip of the iceberg
like I said in the other thread I posted this, its almost comically evilIt started off as a serious yet somewhat contained scandal. It was discovered last month that a student who had taken the entrance exams for Tokyo Medical University (東京医科大学) had had his scores bumped up so that he would gain admission. The student was the son of an official with Japan's Ministry of Education, Sports and Technology (MEXT), and an official at the school skewed the kid's scores upwards in a tit-for-tat bribery deal.
But then the school launched a thorough investigation into its admission practices – and what it found was that the bribery incident was only the tip of the iceberg. It turns out administrators at the school have, as an unwritten rule, been uniformly lowering test scores for women to limit the number who get accepted at the university. The reason? One official quoted by Yomiuri Shinbun called it a "necessary evil" (必要悪) due to the fact that women get married and/or pregnant, and resign their positions midway through their careers.
Considering I have a preference for women who wear glasses, this is offensive.
