And the anonymous \u201cfriends\u201d have come up with even more. A short time ago, a bundle of more than a hundred pages landed in the mailbox of this newspaper. This package was bursting with receipts, notes, and bank statements that were to prove that Professor Keil had allegedly received \u201ccontributions\u201d not only in payment for writing dozens of doctoral theses, but also some post-doctoral dissertations as well. On one Post-it were the names of three professors, currently employed, with the comment, \u201c33,000 each.\u201d On one receipt from 2004 that Professor Keil himself is alleged to have made out is the notation, \u201c20,000 euros from XX (name deleted by the editor) for: Gundolf Keil;\u201d for \u201cauthoring a dissertation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Mueller, Daniel, \u201ePromotionen: W\u00fcrzburger Doktorfabrik\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 16 November 2012. \u201cWhile the traditional study-abroad sites for Americans, Britain, Italy, Spain and France, 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<\/p>\n And what about Germany?<\/em><\/p>\n Novel: http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/revision<\/p>\n —————————————–<\/p>\n 17 JUNI 2013, MONTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Promotionen: W\u00fcrzburger Doktorfabrik \u2013 16<\/p>\n Und die \u00bbFreunde\u00ab legen noch einmal nach. Vor Kurzem landet auch in der Post der ZEIT ein diesmal mehr als 100 Seiten starkes Konvolut, randvoll mit Quittungen, Notizzetteln und Kontoausz\u00fcgen, die angeblich beweisen sollen, dass Professor Keil gegen Spenden nicht nur Dutzende Doktorarbeiten, sondern auch einige Habilitationsschriften verfasst haben soll.
