Tokyo Medical University has found itself in hot water after it was discovered to be altering exam scores for female applicants to boost the number of male doctors
the university began reducing the exam scores of women and adding points for men in order to keep down the number of female undergraduate medical students
The Yomiuri Shimbun quoted university sources as saying the reduction of female applicants stemmed from a “strong sense” that many women quit medicine to get married and have children.

Their reasoning was apparently that less women should be doctors, as women sometimes get pregnant and have children, which takes time away from work.

What BS? Colleges have been lowering admission and academic standards for years.

That is not right! I wonder if in the past, like maybe in the 80s if any of that has ever taken place here in the U.S.? I hope not. I don't mind having a female DR. As long as who I am seeing knows what they are doing.
