Medical School Ordered to Compensate Women For Making Entrance
Test Easier For Men

A medical university that secretly made entrance exams more difficult for women than men has been ordered to pay compensation by the Tokyo district court, a rare acknowledgement that Japanese schools systematically kept women out of classrooms.

Tokyo's Juntendo University denied discriminating against women. The school claimed it raised the bar for female applicants because they were more mature than men of the same age and better at "communicating," which it said gave them an unfair advantage over their male counterparts.
