Lawyers tasked with investigating Tokyo Medical University's alleged discrimination against female prospective students said Tuesday that they have confirmed the practice occurred, and criticized the actions taken by the institution.
They also said they have confirmed further discriminatory practice against male applicants who took the test for at least a fourth time.
"(This conduct) deceives society and includes practices that significantly discriminate against females. All the officials who have been involved in this fraud have to be replaced and the school needs to come together to conduct reforms from scratch," Kenji Nakai, one of the lawyers in charge of the investigation, told a news conference.
