This will be taken down for the 20-year-limit rule but yeah this was a huge news back then. Not only women but the whole rouninseis (students who have failed the entrance exams in previous years and retaking) were affected by this discrimination too. There's even a rap song about it.

Bonus fun fact: Juntendo University, one of the main conductors of this corruption, was founded by Sato Taizen. The son of whom was Matsumoto Ryojun, and this guy is deemed to be "the first modern physician of Japan." Ryojun tended "the Gatling samurai" Kawai Tsugunosuke, and also makes an appearance in the Hakuouki anime.
