The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 Professors under Suspicion \u2013 13<\/p>\n
And it pays to be on the receiving end of a fake doctorate. In Germany, an engineer with a doctor\u2019s degree can, over a lifetime, earn at least a quarter of a million euros (365,000 US dollars) more than a colleague with only a master\u2019s degree. In addition to all this, there are now suspicions of a \u201cporous border\u201d between the point where the fake doctorates are bought and sold and the area where institutional clerical staff has control. It\u2019s not really a question of petty criminals, though, but rather a question of genuine corruption.<\/strong><\/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.
