We were afraid this would result in galvanizing and solidifying student opposition. However, the occupation of university property by protesters now, near the end of December, is no longer acceptable. It has a huge disruptive effect on classes and lectures.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Burtscheidt, C., und Thurau, M., “Der Protest wird weitergehen”, Sueddeutsche Zeitung Online, 18.12.2009.<\/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.
