German Science Minister Stripped of Her PhD
An anonymous reader writes "In a move likely to have major political implications, the University of Düsseldorf has revoked the doctoral degree of Germany's science and education minister, Annette Schavan. The committee investigating allegations of plagiarism came to the conclusion that she 'systematically and deliberately claimed as her own intellectual achievements which she had in fact not produced herself.' Schavan wants to appeal the decision in court and has not resigned from her post so far."
"Annette Schavan stripped"
do NOT want!
"A university committee yesterday evening confirmed accusations, first aired last May, of plagiarism in Schavan’s ethical-philosophical dissertation entitled ‘People and conscience — studies on the conditions, necessity and requirements for formation of conscience today’."
Naturally!!
Nothing interesting to say...MUST...NOT...REPLY...ohtheheckwithit.
Until she can copy off someone else's letter of appeal.
Google search for "That's a sweeping and unfair generalization." shows 14 results... Looks like you've got some explaining to do, Mr "I don't use footnotes", or you're about to be stripped of your second post achievement.
Now I'm doing it right, put my post in quotes and google for it and "did not match any documents" is the result.
