And Lead Us Not into Temptation, but Deliver Us from the Past \u2013 and at the Technical University of Munich? \u2013 8<\/p>\n
\u201cThe education ministries began using a formula, the so-called \u2018curricular norm value,\u2019 to determine how man places for students each course of study should have at each university. Whether this formula was realistic or not was unimportant. What was significant was the temptation \u2013 in a time of low funding and large numbers of students \u2013 to manipulate the \u2018norm values\u2019 to the point where as many places as possible for students could be created. The consequences for German public universities are well known.\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.
