The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 \u201cHelp! The Universities (in Germany) Are Falling Apart!\u201d \u2013 4<\/p>\n
The employees of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg have been very lucky. For a long time, universities elsewhere in Germany have not received the money necessary to undertake important repairs. Universities everywhere are dilapidated. The publication ZEIT CAMPUS made inquiries of all sixteen German states. Almost without exception the reports came back that, yes, many university buildings are decrepit, and yes, the universities are in urgent need of renovation. Many buildings were constructed in the 1960s or 1970s. Since that time the number of students has risen, along with expenses. For that reason the universities lack funding for maintenance.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Gustav Bayer, \u201cHilfe, die Uni st\u00fcrzt ein!\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 15 October 2013.<\/p>\n *According to The Times of London, in its Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2012-2013, (http:\/\/goo.gl\/6EqmQ) the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 105 overall among the world\u2019s universities.<\/strong> At its current ranking, the Technical University of Munich is not so very far behind many universities in, for example, East Asia. It is now only fifty-three places behind China\u2019s Tsinghua University (ranked 52 in the world), only forty places behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (ranked 65 in the world), only fifty-nine places behind Peking University (ranked 46 in the world), only seventy-six places behind the National University of Singapore (ranked 29 in the world), only fifty-five places behind Korea\u2019s Pohang University of Science and Technology (ranked 50 in the world), and, for another comparison, only one hundred places behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (ranked 5 in the world).

Marode sind Hochschulen \u00fcberall in Deutschland. ZEIT CAMPUS hat bei allen 16 Bundesl\u00e4ndern nachgefragt. Fast ausnahmslos hei\u00dft es: Ja, manche Geb\u00e4ude sind bauf\u00e4llig. Ja, die Hochschulen m\u00fcssen dringend renoviert werden. Viele Geb\u00e4ude wurden in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren errichtet. Seitdem ist die Zahl der Studenten stark gestiegen, die Ausgaben wuchsen. Auch deshalb fehlt den Unis Geld f\u00fcr die Instandhaltung.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: Gustav Bayer, \u201eHilfe, die Uni st\u00fcrzt ein!\u201c, Die Zeit Online, 15 Oktober 2013<\/p>\n *Nach der Times of London, Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2012-2013, (http:\/\/goo.gl\/6EqmQ) steht die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, an der 105.
