TOKYO, Feb. 4 (AP) - (Kyodo)—Thirty-three Tokyo Medical University professors involved in reviewing doctoral theses received money from degree earners between the 2005 and 2007 academic years, the education ministry and other sources said Wednesday.
It was common practice at the university for degree earners to provide 100,000 yen each to three professors for reviewing a thesis, according to the sources.
A whistle-blower told the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry about the money transfers in May last year, and the university set up an in-house panel to investigate and compile preventive measures.
"It is quite regrettable," a university official said. "We will make the utmost efforts so such an incident will never happen."
The private university was launched in 1916, and operates three hospitals in Tokyo and Ibaraki Prefecture. As of May 2008, some 700 students were enrolled.
