A student at the University of Tokyo has filed a lawsuit against the university, seeking a review of a decision that made him repeat the year after missing classes due to coronavirus infection.

Sugiura Sota, a second-year student, filed suit with the Tokyo District Court on Friday.

He got infected with the coronavirus in May and missed required classes due to high-fever and other symptoms.

He says he was not allowed to take make-up lessons and that the university decided not to give him sufficient credits, forcing him to repeat the year.

He is demanding the cancellation of the decision.

Sugiura insists it's illegal for the university to grade students who had been infected with the coronavirus without providing relief measures for them.

He says he hopes to enter the medical department and that the university's decision will delay his plan to become a doctor even though he wants to help people who are suffering.

He also says he hopes his suit will force the university to review its unfair treatment as there are many other students who have been seriously disadvantaged by the infection.

The University of Tokyo says it will not comment on the matter as it has not yet received the petition.

学生起诉东京大学的冠状病毒救济措施

NHK日本国际传媒 2022-8-19

一位东京大学的学生已经对学校提起诉讼，请求审查让他在因感染冠状病毒旷课后留级的决定。

杉浦创太是一名大二学生，在周五向东京地方法院提起了诉讼。

他在五月感染了冠状病毒，并因为高烧和其它症状缺席了必须的课程。

他说他不被允许参加补充课程以及学校决定不给他足够的学分，这迫使其留级一年。

他强烈要求撤销决定。

杉浦坚持学校将被感染学生分类却不给予他们救济措施是违法的。

他说他希望加入医学部，而学校的决定将耽搁他成为一名医生的计划，即使他希望帮助受苦的人。

他也表示他希望起诉能让学校重新审视这个不公平待遇，因为还有许多由于感染而处于严重弱势的学生。

东京大学表示，由于未收到诉状，将不会对此事进行评论。
