Copyists fly without a certificate from the university.

Inglorious end of a university career: A student Münsteraners business had with other authors gewildert and his thesis zusammenkopiert - no source information. The University of Munster put the Copy-Paste-sinner without a conclusion before the door. His plea failed.

 

He had written off and is now without a conclusion there. A student at the University of Munster had for his thesis from his text passages zusammenkopiert.
