\u201cAn Attack on German University Policy\u201d \u2013 but at the Technical University of Munich? \u2013 3<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong scientists and researchers, the excellent reputation of Bamberg and other universities in the Franconian region of Bavaria is well known. However, in the Bavarian capital, Munich, the government authorities responsible for those universities do not favor them at all. Instead, those authorities \u2013 in what Munch insists on calling \u2018Munich, Inc.\u2019 \u2013 favor the universities of another region: i.e., the universities of Munich itself.<\/p>\n \u201cMunch says, \u2018The research policies of the Bavarian government certainly have created universities in Munich that are in a leading position, but this is to a considerable extent due to the larger number of personnel the government has committed to efforts at those universities. The effect of those efforts, though, appears in quite the opposite light if you examine the figures. \u201cMunich, Inc.\u201d is seen to be less efficient when its universities are compared to other ones. At the University of Munich (the LMU), 5,129 scientists have been responsible for attracting outside funding for research projects that averages 22,800 euros ($31,300) per scientist. At the Technical University of Munich, the figures are 4,100 scientists averaging 28,400 euros ($38,900) each. However, at the University of Wurzburg, the numbers are 2,523 scientists averaging 35,800 euros ($49,100) each; at Erlangen-Nuremberg, the figures are 3,340 scientists and 26,600 euros ($39,200) each; and at Bayreuth, 934 scientists averaging 30,000 euros ($41,200) each\u2019.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Wolfgang Kemp, \u201eClustrophobische Ausbildungsdiscounter,\u201c Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 18 July 2007.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like someone who has been attacked and injured by a group of thugs.
