The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 \u201cHelp! The Universities (in Germany) Are Falling Apart!\u201d \u2013 8<\/p>\n
The Ruhr University Bochum is another example. During the preparations for the annual summer festival last year, a fork lift broke through the paving slabs on the university\u2019s central plaza and then had to be recovered with another machine. The slabs were dilapidated and had been carelessly laid down in the first place. The rattling sound caused by anyone or anything passing over them, belongs to one of the \u201ctypical campus noises,\u201d according to the university press office.<\/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:\/\/www.timeshighereducation.co.uk\/world-university-rankings\/2013-14\/world-ranking) the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 87 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.
