The Japan University Accreditation Association, which is a certification and evaluation organization that examines the educational status of universities, has been said to have been improperly handled or highly likely to have been improperly handled in the entrance examination of the Faculty of Medicine. The conformity assessment of 7 schools including Marianna University School of Medicine was canceled and changed to nonconformity.Based on the results of an urgent survey of medical school entrance examinations announced by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology at the end of 2018, the seven non-conforming schools will not be able to receive national subsidies that require conformity.

 According to the University Standards Association, it was Nihon University, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Juntendo University, Kitasato University, Iwate Medical University, Kanazawa Medical University, and Fukuoka University that changed the evaluation to nonconformity.Each was evaluated for conformity in 2013-2017.

 The entrance examination for the Faculty of Medicine revealed a scoring operation that treats girls and ronin at a disadvantage at Tokyo Medical University, and the Japan University Accreditation Association changed the evaluation of Tokyo Medical University from conformity to nonconformity in March 2019.Since it was discovered that the entrance examinations for other medical schools such as Nihon University were improperly handled or that there was a high possibility of improper handling, we were proceeding with the investigation.

 As a result, the Japan University Accreditation Association found that there were cases such as treating girls and ronin at a disadvantage and giving preferential treatment to graduates' children, and did not meet the evaluation criteria of fair student acceptance and proper management. It was judged.

 Kobe University and Showa University, which the Ministry of Education pointed out as inappropriate in the 2018 entrance examination, are not subject to the investigation by the Japan University Accreditation Association because another certification evaluation organization has issued a conformity judgment.
