The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 Professors and the Doctorate Scandal: \u201cMy Field, My Institute, My Doctoral Students\u201d \u2013 2<\/p>\n
Recently colorful advertisements have been appearing in the mailboxes of German university faculty members offering \u201cVIP vacations for professors and for academics with PhDs.\u201d For only 699 euros these individuals can enjoy a luxury stay at a five-star hotel in Dubai that would normally cost 1599 euros. Aha, you think, German professors and academics are so important and enjoy such respect around the world that they receive offers that correspond to the high level of their achievements. At the same time, though, these advertisements leave a bitter aftertaste. Cheap vacations for the elite? How did German professors and academics come to this?<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Mueller, Jeanne, \u201eProfessoren und Promotionsskandale: Mein Fach, mein Institut, meine Doktoranden,\u201c Sueddeutsche Zeitung Online, 03.06.2011. \u201cWhile the traditional study-abroad sites for Americans \u2014 Britain, Italy, Spain and France \u2014 still attract more students from the United States, the report found that China is now the fifth-most-popular destination.\u201d \u2013 The New York Times, 17 November 2008<\/p>\n And what about Germany?<\/em><\/p>\n Novel:\u00a0http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/revision<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n 29 MAI 2012, DIENSTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Professoren und Promotionsskandale: Mein Fach, mein Institut, meine Doktoranden \u2013 2<\/p>\n Neuerdings stecken im Briefkasten \u00f6fters bunte Zettel.
