\u201cGerman universities\u2019 striving after excellence was considered undesirable at the time. The court called such striving an \u2018undue preoccupation with standards.\u2019 This sort of logic led to the Capacity Edict, which all German states then formally agreed to. The edict enabled every state\u2019s education ministry to micromanage the number of places for students that each university would have to provide in every single course of study. A compulsory number of student places was tied to each professorial position. The more such positions there were, the more students there would have to be.\u201d <\/strong> <\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Jan-Martin Wiarda, \u201eDie fiese Formel,\u201c Die Zeit, 20 September 2007.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like someone who has been attacked and injured by a group of thugs.
