The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 In Wurzburg, Germany, You Can Just Pay a Professor to Write Your Dissertation \u2013 22<\/p>\n
The university has revoked two doctoral degrees as a result of the investigation into Professor Keil\u2019s activities, and those degrees will probably not be the last. Wurzburg University President Alfred Forchel said in an interview, \u201cWe are far from seeing the end of this affair.\u201d Around twenty dissertations are again currently being reviewed by outside experts, and Forchel predicts that these experts will continue their work at Wurzburg for at least another year. Seven years after the first investigations, the university is now determined to clear up the matter once and for all.<\/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 29 JULI 2013, MONTAG, D\u00dcSSELDORF, DEUTSCHLAND<\/p>\n Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen* \u2013 Promotionen: W\u00fcrzburger Doktorfabrik \u2013 22<\/p>\n Zwei Doktortitel wurden ja bereits entzogen, und dabei wird es wohl nicht bleiben.
