The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 Professors under Suspicion \u2013 12<\/p>\n
Every year in Germany 25,000 people receive PhD degrees. It is estimated that between one and two percent of these individuals obtain their degrees through dubious means. In other words, every year between 250 and 500 fake doctorates are produced in Germany. For those who grant these \u201cdegrees\u201d the reward is obvious: for them, on average, every fake doctorate is worth around 13,000 euros (19,000 US dollars) in additional income every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Leyendecker, Hans, \u201cProfessoren unter Verdacht\u201c, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 24 August 2009.<\/p>\n *In the area of engineering\/technology and computer sciences, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities compiled by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked with twenty-two other universities at 78 or below, well beneath such institutions as the Technical University of Denmark.
