A Revolutionary (for German Universities) Idea, but One Which Would Be Quite Superfluous at the Technical University of Munich \u2013 6<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the data protection official at the Aachen University of Technology, the website was certainly not a forum, but a pillory. The university threatened the website\u2019s originators with legal consequences, unless they completely removed the Aachen professors\u2019 names from their ratings, which was done immediately since the students could not afford to be taken to court. Marion Schick, the President of the Munich Technical College (Fachhochschule Muenchen), on the other hand, gave her professors a sample letter that they could use to forbid the use of their names on the website. Surprisingly, only thirty out of 430 professors made use of the letter.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Jan-Martin Wiarda, \u201eDie Angst der Profs vor dem Click\u201c, Die Zeit, 31.08.2006.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like someone who has been attacked and injured by a group of thugs.

Folglich drohte die Hochschule den Betreibern mit rechtlichen Schritten, sollten sie die Aachener Professoren nicht komplett aus dem Rating entfernen \u2013 was die postwendend taten, denn einen Rechtsstreit k\u00f6nnen sich die Studenten nicht leisten. Die Pr\u00e4sidentin der Fachhochschule M\u00fcnchen, Marion Schick, wiederum stellte ihren Professoren einen Musterbrief zur Verf\u00fcgung, mit dem sie die Erw\u00e4hnung ihres Namens auf der Website bequem untersagen konnten. \u00dcberraschenderweise machten nur 30 von 430 Professoren davon Gebrauch.\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt)<\/p>\n Quelle: Jan-Martin Wiarda, \u201eDie Angst der Profs vor dem Click\u201c, Die Zeit, 31.08.2006.<\/p>\n \u201eIch f\u00fchle mich wie eine Person, die von einer Gruppe Schl\u00e4ger angegriffen und verletzt wird.
