The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 The Case of Baron Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg: German Universities in Crisis \u2013 6<\/p>\n
The 72-year-old Professor Reinhold Brandt is different from many professors. They complain about conditions at today\u2019s German universities, in the era of the EU (Bologna) Education Reforms and the German government\u2019s \u201cExcellence Initiative\u201d. They predict it will be a case of \u201cApr\u00e8s moi le deluge,\u201d when the period of their own university careers has ended. Professor Brandt, on the other hand, would simply like to know, basically, where German universities are headed at the present time. He is critical of the fast-forward speed inherent in the curriculum, the general obsession with academic titles in our society, and the pretense of hard work in doing research \u2013 all of which were involved in the recent Guttenberg case.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Schloemann, Johan, \u201eNach Guttenberg: Universitaeten in der Krise\u201c, Sueddeutsche Zeitung Online, 25.02.2011, 09:30<\/p>\n *According to The Times of London, in its Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2010, the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 101 overall among the world\u2019s universities. In 2009 it was ranked 55. <\/strong>At its current ranking of 101, the Technical University of Munich is far behind many universities in, for example, East Asia. It is twenty-two places behind the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (ranked 79 in the world), forty-three places behind China\u2019s Tsinghua University (ranked 58 in the world), fifty-two places behind the University of Science and Technology of China (ranked 49 in the world), sixty places behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (ranked 41 in the world), sixty-four places behind Peking University (ranked 37 in the world), sixty-seven places behind the University of Singapore (ranked 34 in the world), seventy-three places behind Korea\u2019s Pohang University of Science and Technology (ranked 28 in the world), and, for another comparison, ninety-eight places behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (ranked 3 in the world).

Er beklagt den Schnelldurchgang, die Titelsucht und den nur vorget\u00e4uschten Flei\u00df bei der Durchdringung der Gegenst\u00e4nde – also Dinge, die der Fall Guttenberg gerade exemplarisch vor Augen f\u00fchrt.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: Schloemann, Johan, \u201eNach Guttenberg: Universit\u00e4ten in der Krise\u201c, S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung Online, 25.02.2011, 09:30<\/p>\n *Nach der Times of London, Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2010, steht die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, an der 101.
