A medical school in Tokyo that recently admitted to rigging entrance exams to discriminate against women has approved its first female president.
Board members of Tokyo Medical University on Tuesday chose Professor Yukiko Hayashi as the school’s new president. She will officially assume the post on October 1st. The school’s former chairman and president resigned in July. They were indicted over corruption charges. They were accused of allowing the son of a former education ministry bureau chief to be admitted to the school illegally in exchange for favoritism in connection with a government subsidy program.
