One of Aum Shinrikyo cult founder Shoko Asahara's daughters was rejected for enrollment by Bunkyo University, though she had earlier been accepted, university officials said Friday. The move came after Wako University, also in Tokyo, rejected the 21-year-old after discovering she is the third daughter of Asahara.
Nobuharu Yashima, managing executive at Bunkyo University, said the institution rejected her because "it is still suspected that she has relations with the group and her presence may damage the calm environment of our students and local community."
