The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 German Universities: Are They Worth the Money? \u2013 3<\/p>\n
In the Ministry of Education study, the main criticism of German universities centered on the fact that the newly introduced student fees were hardly ever being used to hire new professors. The universities were putting too much of the income from these fees \u2013 over ten percent \u2013 in the bank, instead of immediately investing it in education. The authors of the study warn in particular that there has to be more transparency in the way the money is used. They added that students are still not perceived \u201cas viable partners\u201d of the university administration \u201cwho decisively influence the teaching conditions at their own university.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: \u201eStudiengebuehren: Keine Professoren Und Geld Auf Der Hohen Kante\u201c, Tagesspiegel, 17.12.2009<\/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.

Die Autoren mahnen zudem mehr Transparenz bei der Vergabe an: Die Studierenden w\u00fcrden sich noch immer nicht “als wirkm\u00e4chtige Partner” empfinden, “die auf die Gestaltung der Lehrsituation an der eigenen Hochschule entscheidenden Einfluss nehmen”, hei\u00dft es.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: \u201eStudiengeb\u00fchren: Keine Professoren Und Geld Auf Der Hohen Kante\u201c, Tagesspiegel, 17.12.2009.<\/p>\n *Im Bereich Technik und Computerwissenschaft, nach dem Bericht \u201eAcademic Ranking of World Universities\u201c von der Universit\u00e4t Jiao-Tong von Schanghai, steht die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, jetzt zwischen der 78. und 100.
