With Batman in the bookstore.

Most of theses dust wherever they were: at home or in the library. Good marketing can make it a little respect for success? as for history student Lars Banhold and the black avenger of Gotham City.

 

Who is Michael Alschibaja Theimuras, probably know the least. But his Munich dissertation of 1978, which is legendary: The urologist wrote about "penis injuries caused by masturbation with vacuum cleaners." Since the professional world speaks in such accidents as "Morbus Kobold", for a device manufacturer.

At a Nobel prize brought with it Theimuras his thesis does not make a Wikipedia entry and some notoriety in Germany: 2004 attracted Charlotte Roche and Christoph Maria Herbst with her "penis reading 'through the country and the chapters friemelten with matching illustrations in front of an audience apart. Science is very different times, a true comedy product.

Indeed, it is possible his thesis very seriously under the people to bring. Lars Banhold, student of history and literature in Bochum, would still have a few months ago in a dream not think his bachelor work today in the hands tied to keep - and not only in the 08/15-Copyshop-Version. "Batman. Construction of a hero" is the Christian A. Bachmann Verlag, with a trendy cover and the first reviewers on the back at a price of € 14.90.

Most, especially students of the humanities, are content with the minimal readership, the auditors. And then place it bound copy in the living room? after months of drudgery in the library. Recognition is different.

Hit a good topic at the right time

But not everyone has the opportunity to make his thesis in a company to write the research effort at least with a small salary rewards. Sometimes, the scientific diligence work practically usable. What, however, can lead to companies or universities, the findings
under the nail and pull the author ausbooten.

Author Banhold Batman is now the official expert, he gave interviews to the last Batman movie "The Dark Knight" and is a copywriter for a magazine inquired. And because his work to a dedicated medientauglichen superhero and has landed a hit? coincidental. "The seminar was for the construction of heroes in literature. Because the issue has simply offered."

THE PERFECT POOR STUDENTS WORK

Late start, last night through all the rules and ignore scientific work: The Würzburger BWLer Stefan Zimmermann, 33, knows how to use every faculty to the brink of nervous collapse drives. Just follow his instructions. more ...

How convenient that his fellow Christian Bachmann at the same time after a fresh driving force for its publisher, founded to explore a publishing house, based on the comic writings specialized research. Banhold was brought into the boat, but his work initially grundrestauriert times. Say: completely new set, linguistically and stylistically changed to an extra chapter on the new movie added. "I am one month before the film start to the press screening went," says Banhold. "So, we were able to strip in the second round with a clean take. That was super."

For literary superheroes Banhold is not become, but has a little fame and glory with his passion for comics Research harvested. After the second edition is already sold to third. In numbers this means just 30 or 40 copies. With the first sales, the combined analysis Batman so far to 230 pieces.

Sure, it is not a sales hit - but a success, says the publisher. "In science, the conditions rarely exceeds 500, and a real non-fiction bestseller is barely higher than sales of 10,000," said Bachmann. "This is not like
Charlotte Roche, which continued its "wetlands" over a million time.

The target of the Batman book is as clear cut as manageable - the circle of comic researchers. Everybody knows it. It also knows Lars Banhold, just 26 years old.

No wealth, but a little recognition

The big money beckons with science literature as good as ever. "When I consider what I was financially rausgeholt have ... That I can not even pay for the coffee, which I had drunk at work," says Banhold. Most of the money goes into production, it was only a euro profit per copy. Other hand: not so bad when you consider that many scientists publish their proportionally even have to pay themselves.

Cheaper is because ISPs such as "Grin" too. The publisher also operates the Archives
Hausarbeiten.de with blogs ONLINE cooperates. Grin When everyone can work free of charge hochladen, whether first-or doctoral student. Some scripts are more than hundred dollars sold, depending on the degree and grades. However, the revised text and a cover unit which.

So some good topics overtook the YouTube syndrome - they go in the huge offer. "We represent the long-tail approach," says founder Patrick Hammer Verlag. "Currently, there are 100,000 articles available, its title, however, in the search engines well gerankt and thus easy to find when they deliberately enters."

Easy to hold a subject that interested many people, remains the sticking point for successful sales. Typical titles like "The Water Women of ETA Hoffmann" are much too specific. "People buy books on particular topics that they know and simply, but completely open," said Hammer.

That is exactly problem. Those who claim that over 40 pages of a bachelor's or master's 100-page work is respected, which is hardly anything other than a small issue to look at it at all to be able to cope. The scientific Bestsellers however requires a niche topic that is still the mainstream uses.

Lars Banhold has not draufgezahlt with Batman, and the publisher wants to return with him. His forthcoming doctoral thesis dealt with African-American literature of the twenties. Interview requests should be absent on this issue.

U.S. Uni verscherbelt their art treasures.

Everything must go: In the emergency, the prestigious Brandeis University Art Museum her close, and works by artists like Warhol, Johns and Lichtenstein silver. 265 million euros, the collection is worth - but what the market is still in crisis come from?

 

Now it is to like. The impact of the financial and economic crisis, forcing the prestigious Brandeis University in the U.S. state of Massachusetts to painful cuts: In order to save the teaching, it would be the Museum of Modern Art and close the 8,000 exhibits from the collection of sale, announced at the Privatuni.

"Mao" by Andy Warhol: the end of a university museum, selling the silverware

The 48 years old Rose Art Museum in Waltham has been one of the most important collections of postwar art in the northeastern United States. These include works by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.

As the university announced the museum will be the end of the summer close. The collection should be of a well-known auction house sold and the proceeds in the real Uni-operation "reinvested" to be. The "extraordinary economic times" had forced the decision, said Brandeis President Jehuda Reinharz.

This is a summer sale of a special kind How many other U.S. universities, funded the small Brandeis University in its operating business from the proceeds of their foundation's assets. These assets are as a result of the nationwide financial crisis dramatically melted off. Specific numbers have not called Brandeis.

To what magnitude it can go, show examples of top universities in the USA: The elite Harvard University in nearby Cambridge quantified their
"unprecedented losses" at least eight billion dollars, one fifth of the foundation's assets. And the Yale University went about a quarter of their assets flutes - five billion dollars dissolved
on the global Monopoly.

Small museum with exquisite images Treasure

Although attracted the Rose Art Museum just around the 14,000 art enthusiasts each year, but the images of the museum would be awarded around the world and hundreds of thousands of art lovers considered, said Michael Rush, director of the museum established in 1961, the newspaper "New York Times." "I was shocked and still am. I feel horrible that this is a sad time for the arts," said Rush. He and his staff were not on the conference have been loaded on which the decision was. Rush estimates the value of the collection converted to 265 million euros.

That the university, with corresponding expected revenues can doubt the art historian Robert Storr. He said that there is in the current market situation, "no worse time to sell art." The plan of the museum is not only unprincipled, but also a sign of bad management.

According to "New York Times, the State Attorney General of Massachusetts, Martha Coakley, possibly even the possibility of selling out to prevent. The last will of the donor to the Museum must be verified, then could the authority of the State Attorney the sale of art treasures might avert. "We expect a lengthy process," said a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office.

The name of the university, founded in 1948, goes back to Louis Brandeis, a former Judge of the Supreme Court, resigned. The private university has about 5000 students. The graduates include the resignation on Monday, Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde, Shen Tong, a student leader of the Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing in 1989, and the inventor of the TV series "Friends," David Crane and Marta Kauffman.

Uni Bonn privatized toilets.

Dirty toilets to the Bonn University tuition-only rehabilitate Euros - a handle to the loo, angry students. The famous plan followed another: Now the university is looking for an external operator, by the students toilet collects tolls.

 

The leadership of the University of Bonn came in November, a probably unique idea for the use of tuition fees: 545,000 euros to the university verplanen - and the money directly into Uniklos sink. Specifically focused on ailing toilets at the Law Faculty and in the main building of the Bonn Hofgarten, a sorely needed renovation seems to have - far from uni-known "dirty toilets" reports of "Bonner General-Anzeiger".

Bonner graduates: Hurray, finally Nobel Toilets

In North Rhine-Westphalia, there is a "Minister of Innovation" (Andreas Pinkwart, FDP) and an "academic freedom act". This allows colleges and universities for well over two years, fees for an initial study period. The Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn hastened with the implementation, since the summer of 2007, the students then 500 euros per semester to pay.

The universities can the proceeds from the campus but not toll verbraten, as the Rector or the Senate just stopped. The law restricts it so: "The contributions of third parties and funds are earmarked for the improvement of teaching and study conditions should be used."

"How in stations, users must pay for their business"

But not everything is teaching and studying, somehow? And not everywhere is rife great distress? Germany's universities forged once the most beautiful maps, what to do with the money of the students could make - from the
Rehabilitation of an underground car park (Passau) to
Verfeuern for heating, just like at the University of Hohenheim rectorate proposed.

Also, the university saw the Bonn NRW-campus toll as carte blanche, even much-needed renovations with money to pay the really exclusive for more and better teaching to be used, such as fees advocates always stress. In November, the Senate, the toilet refurbishment, the student senators voted against it. The spokesperson of the university defended the plan as follows: "To improve the study conditions also include functional toilets," he says, the "Bonner General-Anzeiger".

That was not the Asta partout view and argued that toilets were "absolutely basic" and so clearly from the land fund. The student representatives were afraid of an old campus toll opponents confirmed: "How worried are the tuition fees is not the improvement of teaching," said spokesman Christopher Asta Paese, "a clearer example can be found unlikely."

From the Campus to the toll Klomaut

In mid-January, the university then their plan, the toilets with students to beautify Euros back. And presented a surprising alternative: an "external operator" should now "for the university town won," shared with the university.

The investor should begin to repair the toilets and then must establish hubs. The University announces: "As in railway stations and motorway service user must then pay for their business." The contract had already been issued, report to the General-Anzeiger ".

Counter to the "dirty-toilet": Gold 4.8-million-dollar Klo (Hong Kong)

From the Campus to the toll Klomaut - a small step for mankind, a big step for the University of Bonn. Perhaps the imaginative University Senate for good suggestions for short Kloprivatisierung to a payer of the fees apply. A student Bonner suggests in his
Blog under the heading "University of Bonn - Abkack!" before the contract directly to the local Deutsche Telekom to forgive. The company finally had experience with tolling systems. She was certainly in a position to the toilets with toll-collection "until the winter semester 2016 rudimentary to make operational".

Surpassing the student would only be a deal, the cafeteria of the student directly to the motorway service operator Tank & Rast transfers. Their daughter Sanifair Toilet Toilet owners could be seen as "value coupons for snacks and drinks to issue" if the student for their Notdurftservice decides.

Absurd? Seems impossible in Bonn nothing.

University tuition fees will burn.

Tuition fees will improve the teaching. In an emergency, the University of Hohenheim aparte an idea: She wants so darn big budget holes - and especially heating cover, the country does not pay. Angry students rebel against their Verfeuern Euros.

 

It would be so nice. In December was the University of Hohenheim quite generous on their side and made an offer to their students: with 200,000 euros from tuition, the students specially conceived projects must pay. As the idea of winning a jury of award-winning students at the end of a website, the precise breakdown is what Hohenheim the tuition issue. Motto of the contest:
"Thy will be done."

Castle Hohenheim University: Malerisch, but expensive to heat

That was last week. And this week to decide the Hohenheim students about money again, for a vote on Wednesday and Thursday. But in comparison to the idea of Christmas competition this time is not about Peanuts: The University Leadership plans namely, 1.6 million euros from the coffers fees in the university's budget goes to 2009 - and wants it in the first place their expensive heating bill.

This is revenue from the toll campus but did not mind. They seek to improve the teaching lead some to better care. So in any case is the eternal mantra of the charges fans among science ministers in Germany, including the Baden-Württemberg Minister Peter Frankenberg (CDU). At the universities were in the past two years, very creative and idiosyncratic interpretations to visit, which from their point of view even everything under the Improvement of Teaching verbuchen could - but the burn of student Euros certainly not one of them.

Deep holes in the university budget

500 euros per semester, the students also need to pay Hohenheim. Altogether there are around five million euros. Now is the Asta outraged over a "break, but the same word, as we have never experienced," said Asta chairman Stefan Haffke. Previously maintain University Leadership and student representatives in Hohenheim a fairly cooperative relationship. A committee of students, staff and faculty deans to decide what from tuition fees must be paid. Have the students something to that, is Rector Hans-Peter Liebig also personally with them.

As at the recent meeting in December all disputed points were processed, pushed Liebigstrasse still a point behind: In the draft budget for 2009 were missing 3.2 million euros. Half of it will at the three faculties of the University of savings, he said. An amount of 1.6 million euros, however, the students with their fees incidentally, explains Stefan Haffke the outcome of the meeting. University spokesman Florian Klebs confirms this "If we do not agree, we must reckon with incisions", quoted the student representatives Haffke Rector.

The biggest problem, according to university spokesman Klebs the high energy costs. 1.2 million have electricity and heating cost the university 2008. The state of Baden-Wuerttemberg had in the past two years a grant of 600,000 euros per year to increase the university walls in the castle of Hohenheim - picturesque, but low energy efficiency - to keep warm. These funds, however, the country has stopped at the end of 2008.

Employees should be "a place beside Heizöfchen"

With this problem, the University of Hohenheim is not alone. In recent years, the Ministry of Science and six million euros for the heating of its universities paid. Now is therefore concluded confirmed Marion Young, spokeswoman of the ministry, blogs ONLINE. The Us in Ländle darbe also because the so-called Solidarity Pact donations since the country soon for twelve years on the level of 1997 is frozen. The state pays only collective wage increases and participates in the Excellence Initiative, which some universities receive extra money.

Fees Protest in Ulm (January 2007): logs and scolding for the Uni

Because the country is now also the bonus deleted heating, thus saving only iron. The elite university to Konstanzer crowned college about lapsed between Christmas and the 6th January, in a brief hibernation. In order to save on heating costs, the library is shut for nearly two weeks to their doors. Savings: 60,000 euros. In Ulm and Freiburg were also parts of the building is not heated, those who came anyway, you should "dress warm" (Ulm), or "a place beside Heizöfchen" (Freiburg). Solo Tübingen heated by over the holidays. Stuttgart on the other hand, turned the thermostat down as well as Mannheim.

Baden-Württemberg is proud of its engineering, the dialect - and already notorious for the outlandish idea that the tuition fees for heating fuel. In the winter of 2006 came first, the University of Freiburg on the idea that students with money
to pay their heating oil. Only after protests by the university collects the plan again. Even in the universities of Ulm and Mannheim considered all
economical tricks. After angry protests, it was quiet around the idea of tuition fees by the fireplace to chase or to be cast in concrete - up to the current revival in Hohenheim.

"We need more money from the country"

On Wednesday and Thursday to the Asta Hohenheimer all students in a primary to decide themselves whether the majority of 1.6 million euros in the current year will be literally verheizt. If the students against the management plan, then the Rector is in the word, "says university spokesman Klebs.

Pressing Rector Liebigstrasse fees but not by use, determines ultimately the university as a supervisory body, what to do next. The eleven-member body in which the external majority, could decide that the charges against the will of the rector and students used to plug budget holes, and the university to warm.

This should then just accept it, says university spokesman Florian Klebs. "We were not happy about but that's not what we want permanently." Where does the money for heating will actually need it are Klebs and Asta chairman Haffke agreed: "We need more money from the country."

The Ministry of Science mauert before. We will deal with the universities' deal, "said the statement drought. Whether it is for the current year a grant to give the energy or not, wanted the spokesperson of the Ministry does not say. It referred only to current energy costs and falling on vague "savings".

A bit of fun should be.

Evaluations and rankings professors often endure. Once a year they turn the tables and vote: Who is the strongest science minister who schwächelt in office? An East German politician gets the title "Minister of the Year" - for the second time

 

In grades have a lot of professors in Germany routine notes in cash as well. Whether at university rankings in magazines or in teaching, research or in the Excellence Initiative - the verdict on their work, they must make. The taste is not all professors, especially if precisely the formation of competition policy and "profiling" fuel that would otherwise halt as a "solidarity pact" or job cuts as "higher optimization concept" sell.

Sometimes professors also want to enjoy themselves up. This invites the German University Association (DHV) since 2004, it expressly. The "Minister rankings, members of the Association of University Professors and all who are otherwise interested in science policy, on the strengths and weaknesses of the science minister judge. And distribute school.

The official final result of the current rankings: Jan-Hendrik Olbertz from Saxony-Anhalt as the winner goes through the goal. That was the party-less science minister in 2007 to succeed once, then sparked him of 2008 Brandenburg colleague Johanna Wanka from. Now they have again swapped places. Both were with 2.0 and 2.1 good grades.

Ex oriente lux

All other ministers have had to deal with grades in the range of 3 or significantly worse modest. Endnotes Bremer is this science Senator Renate Jürgens-Pieper - with a grade of 5.2. It also is responsible for the school, must deal with Bremen
blamablen PISA results mucking around and knows the lush "poor" in their testimony DHV already from the previous year.

The East German Science Minister consistently performed well, with the exception of Henry Tesch from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to rank 10th Passable notes were also Joachim Rippel (Saarland) and Doris Ahnen (Rheinland-Pfalz) places on the three o'clock-four o'clock. The relatively unemployed Federal Research Minister Annette Schavan threaded with a grade of 3.6 in the middle.

Serious evaluation is the Internet survey is not, however, more sophisticated professors Bespaßung. This is also difficult to explain how the findings meteoric rise of
Hamburger always smart ex-Senator Jörg Dräger: Three years in a row, he was the last place in the new rankings suddenly the sixth. It was in 2008 Dräger practically nothing more shape because the citizenship of elections already held at the end of February. What it is now the horse of the year makes? Rätselhaft - perhaps it was simply grateful for his departure.

Mood rather than a serious evaluation

Berlin's Senator Jürgen Zöllner again lost two places and is now ranked 8th In the years 2005 and 2006 he was still Class Primus, waltete serving as science minister at the time, however, in Rhineland-Palatinate, before his cross to the far more difficult terrain capital had to prove.

The Association of Universities, the vote even more than mood for serious work as a witness and is also free space for comments. A participant suggested that the Federal Ministry of Research "in view of the superiority of country-level logically conclude." About the voting winner Olbertz quoted one participant: "The Minister despite tense situation in the country real interest and knows what he's talking about!"

At the other ministers will not be taken by. The motto of the Saxon Science Minister Eva-Maria Strange loud: "We have no money, but together we have created," threw her against a participant. Harsh criticism at the Bremen Senator: "Mrs Jürgens-Pieper is largely in the ideologies of the seventies at home."

TUITION FEES

Click on the countries to learn more about the situation in order to know ...

Position:

Science Minister Peter Frankenberg (CDU) is one of the fans vehementesten fees and annual fees on prepared models. At the beginning of September 2005, Baden-Wuerttemberg was the first state to a draft law, which in December 2005.

Students had to pay the first time in the summer of 2007 - landeseinheitlich 500. In exceptional cases such as child rearing, disability or an exceptional talent, there is a fee waiver. Excluded are also PhD students and students in the practice or vacation semester and students with at least two siblings, which now does not matter whether they still go to school, work, study or even just to have around the world.

If the money can not afford, is entitled to a loan - at a rate of about six per cent - in the state L-Bank. The repayment starts two years after graduation, when the monthly income more than 1060 euros, net amount (for a non-earning spouse will add 480 Euros, 435 Euros per child). The monthly rates are 50, 100 or 150 euros. Also Bafög beneficiary must pay.

Officially, the universities will receive additional fees, they may be officially the money solely for the improvement of teaching use. Some universities still caused by a particularly bizarre-use plans for creative attention - such as the University of Freiburg with their thoughts games, the extra euros just for the heating issue, in other words, through the chimney to blow.

In Baden-Wuerttemberg to defend charges particularly resolute opponents. A nation-wide boycott movement failed in the end is too weak to participate, and only in three small colleges Karlsruhe made enough students and then renounced it, thrown out because they like the risk was too great. But, especially in Stuttgart and Freiburg students covered the administrative actions with mass one. In the first process it collects slippers, but it does not want to give in.

Prognosis:

The collection is running, sweeping success of the students before the court are not very likely. As in some other states, the full revenue flowing into the doctrine. Minister Frankenberg asks that the public funding of universities "is not in connection with the fees" will be reduced. Guarantees that he can give as little as any other science minister.

Therefore the forecast: Immediately save the country at universities, rather that a certain amount of shame deadline. But the universities will be after the introduction of the fees are not much better off than before because they are by contract with higher savings targets expertly tied up and gagged are - triumphed at the end of the finance ministers.

Promotion Consultant Martin D. (left, with his lawyer): Due convicted

It is a promotional advice, since more than 20 years in the sphere of works by German universities, well known and highly controversial. The institute gave cash-capable and willing doctoral candidate at Doctor fathers. It prides itself on being more than a thousand PhD projects are planned to have been alone since 2000, had more than 350 doctoral students and to promote negotiations with more than 40 German faculties together.

According to self-promotion, it was about legal assistance in the design and the literature search - "not a commercial title, no Ghostwriting"; about 15 hours a week would have to have doctoral schedule. Critics, however, repeatedly expressed the suspicion that this is not always the right things with receives. However, demonstrated that the Institute is not long - until last year to a spectacular process stalled, now also at the end of the Institute leads.

Bribery business idea

Economics Professor Manuel Rene Theisen from Munich, one of the
harshest critics of the company Bergisch Gladbach, welcomed the end, because the willing helpers "for many years the scientific work in Germany have undermined". For the German Association of Universities (DHV), the professional organization of university professors, consultants are professional doctorate in general, "suspected of being dishonest in the award doctorate to be involved." A supervisor, who will be caught, can not be a member of the association, says spokesman Matthias Jaroch.

Has triggered the suspension of Sebastian P., one of the two company directors, not personally involved in the suspected abduction of a sträflichen bankruptcy provisions. The factual background of the decline lies in a criminal against his companion D. Martin, 54, because of commercial bribery, a doctoral father in 61 cases. The investigations started since 2005.

According to ruling of July 2008 had D. Martin, even a doctorate in a philosopher, a confessed law professor at the University of Hanover in 4100 euros each time paid when a client of the consulting institute made to the doctor. One half was there for the adoption of the candidate, the other after a successful promotion, usually limited to the account of a straw man or a woman from the straw relatives of the recipient.

The Hannoverian law professor from the Institute had more than 150,000 euros and was approved by the district court to Hildesheim
three years in prison, "because of bribery in a particularly severe case." Martin D. Promotion mediator should due to bribery
three and a half years in prison and 75,000 euros. The verdict is not yet in force, as well as the fine of 150,000 euros for the promotion counseling.

Bribery is not as operating through

The financial imbalance is now substantial. "Since the criminally sanctioned grants to the professor is not deductible as business expenses are," says the administrator, would be against the Agency juicy "tax claims." They are usually within a month to pay deferral is an exception to the discretion of the authority.

In this specific case, the insolvency administrator in addition to high legal costs for the criminal and "substantial revenue losses" by the press coverage about it. Moreover, with money recovered "a large number of doctoral students" to be expected, which has not yet been fully served. Because for the deposit of the customer supplied the institute not only a supervisor. It also committed itself to additional services such as literature for the thesis.

Parallel to the criminal proceedings in Lower Saxony, the public prosecutor in Cologne in March 2008 a further investigation because of the promotional advice and is crate as contracts with customers and helpers professoralen
seized. When the sighting of the documents will be finalized, according to senior prosecutor Guenther field is still in the stars. Therefore, the insolvency administrator "an exhaustive review" whether further criminal, tax and civil law to exclude questionable promotional projects are not possible. Therefore, for him, "a continuation of the company" no longer relevant.

That the institute from Bergisch Gladbach give up, for the Righteous Among the teachers an occasion for rejoicing. But it is only an accident in the commercial promotion advice. It remains "a little durchdringbares legal thicket," as DHV Jaroch spokesman says. Thus, 55 of Bergisch Gladbach in Hanover mediated a doctoral money in circulation equal to one month's salary flexed. Strictly speaking, this means there are no criminal, legally, there is therefore in the public interest to prosecute.

Four doctoral students still went to court and public prosecutor, according to Hanover in force acquitted. The complicity of bribery by a supervisor, they were not demonstrated. But a precaution, the Hannoverian Law Faculty since the experience with the corrupt professor of all doctoral the affidavit, no commercial consultants have turned to.

Students (April 2008): In autumn, there will be confusing

Both sides push each other to blame. For every second of a total of 11,000 courses in Germany are now local Zulassungsbeschränkungen by numerus clausus, shortly NC.

The chairman of the Bundestag Committee on Education, Ulla Burchardt (SPD), on Monday called for a uniform system of study approved by the federal government. It is no longer acceptable that every year tens of thousands of students in shortage subjects have remained vacant because of the 16 countries and the principals do not have a "mandatory for all colleges After consultation procedures can agree," said the SPD politician.

After consultation, the procedure is necessary because many graduates are initially at several universities decentralized advertise - what the university last summer under a
Record flood of applicants was groan. The universities thus missing the overview of the actual number of students and the open spots. Since the conversion of ZVS applications will be no more centralized.

"Education Minister is abgetaucht"

Burchardt noted that the federal government even after the reform of federalism in 2006 for the university and for the accounts was responsible: "From these regulatory powers of the federal government must now make use of them." Federal Education Minister Annette Schavan (CDU) was "obviously in the dispute over the admission abgetaucht study."

Michael Kretschmer, education chairman of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group, described the current organization of higher education as unsatisfactory. Countries and institutions had so far not been able to agree on a model to understand. Kretschmer: "We want a program that works." Hence the need to promptly call for a computerized system. The federal government was willing to contribute financially "to find a reasonable solution to participate." Reliability and success, however, hung from the fact that "all possible universities."

The committee chairman Burchardt said, however, the federal government would be for "Experiments with dubious output" no money available. The federally-ZVS for the reorganization proposed 15 million euros are under lock note of the Budget Committee.

According ZVS is the desired model for constant change requests in the autumn of HRK not implement. On the other hand, HRK states, which have technically ZVS not implemented what had been decided.

The beautiful region of Alto Adige in northern Italy in Bolzano treat Edeluni a luxury for a study with Alpenblick. With only 3000 students Everybody knows everybody - it carries an academic life as a wallpaper image, albeit with a night life like in Delmenhorst.

 

Admittedly, the most important breakthrough for science in South Tyrol is more than 5000 years ago. More precisely, it was a Durchschuss: An arrow pierced the shoulder of a lonely wanderer in the high mountains, shot down by an unknown enemy. The Gemeuchelte behind wohltemperiert now rests in a shrine, his fur leggings and goat leather underwear are issued separately.

"Iceman", the leathery-brown glacier mummy from the Stone Age, is indisputably the top tourist attraction Bolzano. On their way to the Archeological Museum, tourists carelessly pass a sober facade - behind the second academic attraction of the city, just ten years old: Since the autumn of 1998 runs of teaching at the Free University, Südtirols first and only university.

3000 students are distributed among a handful of faculty at the three sites Bolzano, Bressanone and Brunico, including about 200 Germans. The guests from the North appreciate the good study environment with relatively friendly fees: "I will pay as much as in Germany, but getting a top university," says Franca Liza fire Mueller, 25 The Nürnbergerin studied economics and management, she is very happy about their place.

Leather Lesecouchen and a lecturer for six students

Germany's measured, provides a degree of Bolzano de luxe.

In any teachers, only six students, the new international Bachelor and Master degree programs, the Free University has long introduced.

A sentence you never hear, only because of the low age of the college, says Brandmüller: "We have always done so." Brandmüller is student representative to the economists, they and their colleagues reside on the top floor of the main building of the offices will open after several pages of the panoramic view of the towers of the city. Behind this rise, even in the late golden yellow shining, the vineyards, the distant mountain peaks are covered with snow. On the adjacent rooftop, the students at the time of the European Soccer Championships set a screen - television still photo wallpaper.

A club-like job in Delmenhorst

Bolzano is pretty, alpine bay flourishes in harmony with Italian boutiques and delicatessen shops. Even in November the people sitting in front of the cafes in the sun. The market trader selling flowers, mushrooms and spices, pasta, he smells of roasted chestnuts.

Only the night life was rather unspectacular, tell the students. Usually we meet in a bar to Veneziano, an orange drink from Prosecco and Aperol. The dance like you have more private desire - the range of clubs remind them of their home town of Delmenhorst, joked graduate Kristina Hartjen, 28

After completing it attracts Norddeutsche because even in a big city, Hamburg and Berlin, where she Kommilitonin with a design agency wants to establish.

The South Tyrol in itself was just a little "knospig" closed, said design student Kronbichler Thomas, 23, even Südtiroler. So much the better, then, that the university is so small and manageable, so the students learn each other, then it easy to know. "At large universities is to be anonymous, where the professors feel personally attacked when I'm missing," said Bettina Schwalm, 24

The Munich in Germany was around before they opt for the local design faculty decided. While elsewhere in the home at the desk potter must have Bolzano well equipped Workrooms.

Of these, the aspiring designers will soon have even more: In the courtyard of the campus excavators have excavated a large pit, here are nine million euros for new workshops and studios were built. "I was here with a blank sheet of paper to start," said Kuno Prey, who came from Weimar, a dean at the Faculty of Design building. "Bolzano is for Südtiroler the navel of the world, because the money is flowing more easily."

From the auditorium in the war.

More than 7000 soldiers to learn the universities of the Bundeswehr - for himself and for his country. The study conditions are excellent, but the mood is depressed: Many young officers in Afghanistan will soon have to risk their lives. And before departure write their wills.

 

Sabastian Kothanikkel sits at the desk of his office and is working on the thesis, when the breaking news on the television screen is running. "Two German soldiers in Afghanistan's Kunduz by a suicide bomber killed", stood there.

That was the end of October, similar messages were already in May and August. It can be used not to declare Kothanikkel, 25 The first thought: "Hopefully it's not that I know of." The thesis is no longer interested. Kothanikkel urges comrades to "collect information," he says. The victims are unknown to him.

On the evening he changed his profile photo on the Internet platform StudiVZ students. It now displays a cross, including the words: "In memory of our fallen soldiers."

"If I do not need someone else to do"

For Sabastian Kothanikkel Afghanistan is also not a war zone, no German political issue - it could be the future work. The Hamburg student comes from an Indian officer in the family, his ancestors fought in the Second World War against Germany. Now he is himself a soldier in the Bundeswehr. After Afghanistan, he would not volunteer, but a corresponding command to follow, of course: "If I do not, then there must be someone else to do. And if what happened, I would never forgive me."

Kothanikkel studied politics at the Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg. Like his fellow students there and at the Bundeswehr University in Munich, he has after graduation for a total of 12 years study and subsequent service in the Force undertakes - now it's 13th In his wallet is a photo of coffins with German flags, cut from a newspaper. "If I am here goes well, the picture reminds me that I am a soldier," says Kothanikkel.

The soldiers hid status primarily benefits: Compared with the mass civilian institutions, the conditions for the 7000 Army-students almost heavenly. A professor serves an average of 28 students at other universities is about twice as many. Most graduate student living on campus in well-equipped dormitories. And: You refer a salary of around 1,500 euros net.

It was the then defense minister and later German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt (SPD), the Bundeswehr was founded universities. He wanted to make it more attractive for professional officers and soldiers trained for the period after the service to offer the weapon. 1973 launched the first soldiers into the study.

The most popular subjects are the economic and engineering sciences, in Hamburg and Munich, but also education, state and social sciences, politics, history or sports offered. Subjects such as orchids to large public universities are missing. The academic year is modeled after the Anglo-Saxon divided into quarters - and tightly organized like an army parade. If the bachelor's degree in seven quarters not create, can not master it.

Lately, the military-style moves at the two campuses in Hamburg and Munich for the first time since its inception with power in the foreground. A new era is here: before Afghanistan and since Afghanistan.

Rettungsakt is apparently a success.

In a nightly eight-hour meeting was to save the private University of Witten / Herdecke struggled. Now there is a concept for the future with new capital of 16 million euros. Who exactly the lion's share of nine million gifts, remains in the dark.

 

After a long Zitter lot on Friday noon, the private University of Witten / Herdecke and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia jointly announced a "lasting viable funding base" for the struggling university had been secured. Key points agreed in writing to the future approach, capital of old and new shareholders over 16 million euros and a guarantee for more than ten million.

Übernächtigte savior: Minister Pinkwart (right) unterlief a Lapsus

In Düsseldorfer Science Ministry had on Thursday evening against 19 clock greater gathered round, with envoys of all the survival of the university interested. These include the Foundation UWH the university, the Board of Trustees, the Community Hospital Herdecke, the alumni initiative, the student society, also the foundation of the Darmstadt Software AG, the holding company and the SRH Business Droege International. And on top of a lawyer Martinus Consult Rottenburg Stuttgart, a consulting company for religious hospitals.

They negotiated until late into the night. Only towards the 3:30 clock was a "key issues paper" was signed. The central figure was Artur Maccari representing Martinus Consult and the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. With nine million namely, more than half of the "fresh money", has pledged Maccari - on behalf of a number of sponsors and interested parties from around the Catholic Church. This caused in the course of Friday for some confusion, especially as NRW Science Minister Andreas Pinkwart (FDP) verplapperte.

After the night crisis meeting, the university and the Ministry glad when they lunch on the way out of the ongoing financial problems were present. To succeed in the rescue with considerable savings in the university administration and with earnings growth, especially through a capital expansion.

Continue to negotiators are back

Old and new shareholders thus participate with 16 million euros, is secured by the construction guarantee. Also of great importance: The NRW said 4.5 million respectively for the years 2009 and 2010 to. For both years presented Pinkwart further 2.25 million euros in view. This represents but only those grants of 4.5 million euros, the country just before Christmas was surprisingly retained - was the only acute turmoil triggered.

About meadows to be the country much-needed millions, only if a "certified by auditors of the University plan exists, that the concept is the future," said ministry spokesman Ralf-Michael Weimar blogs ONLINE. That should be "timely" to happen. The country had but "no reason to doubt".

Some of the new constellation of donors is amazing. For example, graduates of the University in a few days, almost one million euros collected by himself at the university to participate, the Board has declared itself willing to double the amount. With the negotiating table was also a representative of the family Düsseldorfer Droege. The firm Droege was with the University verbandelt until last summer in an ugly separation came with much fanfare - but wants the entrepreneur Droege now vouch for the university, apparently with full ten million.

In contrast, the race seems to SRH Holding, with the University two years ago also fruitless negotiations ever had. In particular, the SRH saw the Alumni
Danger of a "hostile takeover" by a for-profit company, the ax to the university culture might - from their point of view so to speak, a hungry wolf, the university umschleicht. This view also shared the "ideal partner" for more on receipt of the special university culture are interested. Together, they want to remain a majority shareholder of the shares.

The SRH was holding, inter alia, to an increase in student numbers in 3000 and significantly higher tuition urged. After the night session, it has not yet completely withdrawn and shows continue to talk. This concept could be but "in this form does not sign," said spokesman Nils SRH Birschmann blogs ONLINE. The shareholders' shares in the capital should be divided according to the investors involved - but now it was not given. It would be "the old forces" in Witten enforced, so Birschmann.

Wrangling over church money

Result: The SRH was rausgedrängt and is now on the doorstep. Quite literally. Because of the crisis meeting was a representative part, but she left around midnight - and we debated without him. "There were different views of how long or short the line must be at the shareholders a private university run," said Board Member Martin Butzlaff.

How come now, but the many millions that are in Witten so desperately needs? At the press conference on Friday lunchtime called Andreas Pinkwart donors as the Catholic Church for "three times three million euros" in the years 2009 to 2011 - and thus sparked violent turbulence from. Audible prompt and fought back the dioceses Essen, Paderborn and Rottenburg-Stuttgart, according to the nine million Pinkwart should contribute. At the sharpest denied the diocese of Essen: There was neither financial support nor a strategic partnership, such reports reflected "in no way the truth," said Hans-Werner prelate Thönnes as permanent representatives of the diocesan bishop.

The Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart also denied, but a little softer: You will no money from church funds that would be interested in a "strategic partnership", especially in an Endowed Chair of ethics. Medical education as a core faculty, the spirit of the University of Witten / Herdecke, ethics - that fits together. Located to the chair in the study seem Fundamental, occupied by the dioceses.

A direct contribution from university funds, however, church designated Broch Thomas, spokesman for the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, as "neither reasonable nor place." Nevertheless, lawyer presented Maccari Round commitments of over nine million - money not directly by the Catholic Church, but by hospitals owned by the church, in North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Wuerttemberg. Precise told the participants not know who stands behind it. Only Pinkwart science minister and the university management took insight into a long list of donors.

"Not more from hand to mouth living"

University Ministry as stress unison that it is binding commitments not to uncovered checks. "We worked with the commitments achieved a solid base," said university spokesman Ralf Hermersdorfer. It is also Pinkwart office manager Rudolf Hielscher, even at the night session was: "The credibility there is no doubt."

Swimming because of new church, but hospitals in the money so that they loose nine million euros for a lifebuoy Wittener left? "Of course not, they have all pointed reckon - but they also need to think about their future and invest," said diocese spokesman Broch. And in a partnership with the University of Witten / Herdecke waving Catholic hospitals advantages, such as through direct cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine, planned by the Foundation Chair, including through contacts with young medical talent.

In the coming weeks, the negotiating parties spelling out the new approach, the sums of money specifically festzurren, contracts close. Pinkwart minister spoke of a "Rettungsakt in the last minute." It should not escape, the university will be "no more from hand to mouth living."

And if the financial rescue is done, still needs to re Wissenschaftsrat succeed at the major shortcomings of the medical faculty was located. Presidium member Butzlaff predicted full of optimism: "This is the final breakthrough - we did it. We are finally grown up and can Right with new content."

Poetry for millions.

And who is now the poet in red? The wondered many millions of viewers for Obama's inauguration. It was Elizabeth Alexander, for 20 years with Obama friends. The professor and poet Anna Hoben is currently studying at Yale "Black Culture" - a lesson in Obamania.

 

In August 2008 I arrived in New Haven in a small town in Connecticut in the northeastern United States. Here is the famous Yale University, where I studied for a year, the Department of African American Studies.

The first day: We are a total of five new students in the doctoral program, each will receive an immediate "Adviser" allocated. Elizabeth Alexander is my mentor - not just a professor, but also a poet, for the prestigious Pulitzerpreis was nominated. I register for a course at her: "Freedom and Identity in Black Culture."

Between the beginning of the semester in September and the election on the fourth day of November, in my department is hardly any other issue than Barack Obama. Every conversation between colleagues on the floor, any discussion in the seminar room, sooner or later leads to him. An exciting time in the U.S. African American Studies to make, it can hardly enter.

The enthusiasm is me. In November, I am on the campus at the public viewing the election night. Once Obama as the winner is announced, the students storming out of their homes, run in the Americas wrapped johlend flags on the campus.

Moments of great emotion

The next morning I sit, still somewhat sleepy, in Elizabeth Alexander's course. Your semester program is tight, a book every week or two, an overview of the history of blacks in America from the beginnings of slavery to the present. On the reading list is also Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," in German translation of "An American Dream: The story of my family."

African American Studies

Afro-American Studies (African American Studies) as an academic subject, there is only since the late sixties? a reaction to the Black Power movement. We wanted to give students the opportunity scientifically to fathom what it means to be black and Americans to be. Yale was a pioneer, and offered the first university in 1978 as a Master degree in Afroamerikanischen studies.

On the day after the election is unlike anything else, we sit in the chair circle, do not rush through the usual exchange of lecture and discussion. Elizabeth Alexander is not so quick-witted as usual, it is emotional. The students? 80 percent are black? tell how they have experienced the election. I can only imagine what this moment means to them, for their parents, their grandparents.

One student tells of his two great uncles who were indicted in Baltimore, a White kill to have. They were hanged? and they were innocent, as subsequently proved. Elizabeth Alexander tells the story of her great-grandfather, who was born as a slave. And of old black people, for the first time in her life have gone on the election, because for the first time they felt that their voice means something.

"I want to remember every detail"

I realize how few generations between then and now is how little time has passed since the Constitution of the United States than blacks to exactly three-fifths human defined - in a notorious Additional Articles of the treatment of slaves in the electoral regulated.

Then the 20th January 2009. 12:26 clock: the 44th President of the United States has just ended his inaugural speech. My professor Elizabeth Alexander enters the stage in front of the Capitol in Washington. She looks left, right, says a few seconds nothing, just watching. "I want to absorb everything that day, later I can remember every detail," she us students a few days earlier.

When Alexander started to speak, it will be a blow to the poet Most often in the world. Nearly two million in the U.S. capital, but millions in the living rooms, in front of the televisions in the world.

The election of Barack Obama for President of the United States is in two respects a revolution. Obama is the first African-Americans in this position. Equally important: With Obama in the Americas will end an era of anti-intellectualism. Unlike George W. Bush appreciates Obama science and the intellectual life, he loves words and is a friend of the literature.

President of poetry in the luggage

One could say that Obama is himself a writer. His autobiography is well-crafted literature, as a student, he has tried with poems, his speeches are poetic, and recently he was with a volume of poetry of the Caribbean poet and Nobel laureate Derek Walcott spotted under the arm.

PERSONAL

Since September Hoben Anna studied at Yale, their home is on Lake Constance, their subjects are English and German. The thesis she writes about the importance of race and skin color in the U.S. election campaign. This is also the subject of their favorite teacher at the American elite university, Elizabeth Alexander.

A politician, with the poetry itself around, even like this can inspire? Obama asked Elizabeth Alexander, for his inauguration, a poem to write and submit. For nearly two decades, the two friends, when she taught at the University of Chicago, lived in the same district. He could have no better choice.

In her last semester course Elizabeth Alexander quoted the writer Toni Morrison: "I want to make art that is politically and beautiful." Alexander's inauguration poem "Praise Song for the Day" speaks clearly the history of African-Americans suffering in the exploitation of blacks. Then it is about hope for America in these difficult times, to a fresh start to interpersonal encounters, multiculturalism and community.

The language of the poem is nice and clear, and every day? as I see it as a student from Alexander know their seminars. What Morrison, the first African-American Literature Nobel Prize winner, has made Elizabeth Alexander is with her poem for Obama succeeded.

Graduates collect 800,000 euros for crises University.

It's about survival of the private University of Witten / Herdecke. Ex-students have collected a lot of money to a "hostile takeover" by an investor to thwart. The do not want to stand as a baddie - a crisis summit will be the solution. Psychological profile of a university at the abyss.

 

Daniel Berger can not believe it: "800,000 euros in just four days. That is mistaken." The 38-year-old sits in the office of his small biotechnology company in Witten, a town in the Ruhr area. Berger lives in the neighborhood, in weather Volmarstein. He is not far away from his former university, Privatuni of Witten / Herdecke - also emotional.

Search for the millions: Alumni and current students want the University of Witten / Herdecke rescue

Shortly before Christmas, North Rhine-Westphalia state funds of 4.5 million euros einbehielt, contributed Germany's oldest private university
to insolvency. "I was appalled," says Berger, my friends, alumni, as I did so too. "

At the University appreciate it very, Berger says that "Witten students undertaking their studies than to understand." And because the alumni of this study acute threat, they have something. On last Friday klemmten they stick to the phones: collect money and save the university. There, they founded the alumni association initiative UW / H. 250,000 euros should come together to Thursday, until another crisis meeting at the Ministry of Science Düsseldorfer. And after four days they had donated more than 800,000 euros commitments.

The university is on the brink, so are the objectives of the association clear. "Witten / Herdecke investors need a model," says Berger. But not just any investor model.

A battle of good and evil forces?

From the perspective of the alumni association, there is the struggle for survival exactly two parties: the fighter for the ideas of the university, the good, the special
Witten mind and want to preserve the culture. And there influential and high-yield-hungry investors with selfish interests.

Is it really this front? And who are these sinister forces? His camp is one of the Berger Foundation as operator of the university, the board of trustees, the new alumni association and the students, but also the foundation of the Darmstadt Software AG. On the other hand, graduates and students observe the approximation of the Group Holding SRH full of suspicion, as well as interference of NRW Science Minister Andreas Pinkwart (FDP).

It is about a redistribution of the shares, related to participation at the university - that collects the alumni association. "If the game is played, we want to retain 50.1 percent," said Berger. But 25.1 percent would still suck - as a blocking minority.

The Board of Trustees has the alumni pledged donations euros each with a further increased. Thus, the account is already at 1.6 million. Mitmischen want the alumni and other investors boundaries: "Who wants our money, to get it to do with us," says Berger combative.

EX-PRESIDENT IN INTERVIEW

University of Witten / Herdecke

In the wake of the crisis came as President Birger Priddat Privatuni of Witten / Herdecke back. Against the Uni-line expressed the NRW Ministry of Science harsh accusations. On blogs ONLINE Priddat talks about the money, the new beginning and countered: "The country has significant contribution to the crisis." more ...

A "Basic Law" he calls the provisional Charter Association, the peculiarities of the university said: So be it, according to Article 4 "to ensure that only the individual fitness on the approval for the study to decide," not about the money a candidate. Also, the university should undertake to "socially acceptable alternatives to completing the tuition fees during the study provided". Must also remain the fundamental studies with weekly classes on cultural, artistic and social education.

SRH: "Not interested in an overarching role"

These points are for the alumni at the core of the university, investors want it by the Charter ausbremsen - especially the Foundation Rehabilitation Heidelberg (SRH) Holding. The Hekking led by Dieter Health and Education Group operates seven hospitals and 30 educational institutions, including six private colleges with a total of approximately 5000 students. Already in the summer of 2007 she tried to Wittener shares. Infighting could break the deal, partly because the university no great influence on her approach would allow.

Today, says Nils Birschmann, spokesman and negotiator for the SRH, the university did was "impossible" behavior. Now you sit at a table again - with very different visions for the future.

According to internal records of the university, the blogs are available online, is the liquidity at the end of February to secure the
February salaries were not covered. The SRH urge an expansion of the canon of subjects and a rapid increase in the number of students in 3000 (approximately 1200) and "market-driven tuition." Precise: The university should be "sight" to 70 percent from student fees to finance the SRH students accept the company in its present form is not.

And above all: "The SRH wants until the end of the restructuring process shaping a majority of 75 percent to take the necessary measures to be implemented expeditiously," as stated in the minutes of a conversation from last Thursday. This could be the only group on the fortunes of the university determined. From the perspective of the alumni would be a "hostile takeover".

Only describes the SRH it quite differently and wants the baddie role no assumptions: "We are not a major shareholder available," said spokesman Nils Birschmann blogs online, "we want one of five or six equal partners." Even a share of 25 percent or more was not sought. Birschmann: "We have no interest in a broader role."

"Keep calm, security radiate."

Approximately 4,000 years of history are in this city. King Solomon built the Jewish Temple, and later came the Romans. Jesus was nailed to the cross and is risen, as stated in the Bible.

Then came the Arabs, the Crusaders in the Middle Ages. Jerusalem is the Holy City of the Jews who drittheiligste of Islam and a place of pilgrimage for all Christians. It was burned down, rebuilt, overwhelmed, destroyed and rebuilt again. Seljuks, Fatimids, Mamluken, Ottomans and Templers prevailed - and then, until 1948, the British. Then David Ben Gurion called the State of Israel.

In my WG we are four: Esther and Shuki, Israelis with American roots, Charlotte and I am from England. We have a garden, a living-dining room, the kitchen is kosher. The main rule: separating meat and milk! There are two ovens, two sets of cutlery, pots, pans, plates. Everywhere are small stickers on which "chalavi" so milky, or "basari" so fleshy, stands. I'm unsure: Was that really the right dish for cheese bread? The right knife?

In the synagogue I am on the edge and do everything according to what the others do. Whenever someone curtain raise before the Torah, and we pray and sing standing on. I Brumme with: "Baruch ata Adonai elohenu melech haolam ...", which means" Blessed seist you, eternal our God, King of the World. "

Caught in the diploma.

In theory, the mobility of students is highly encouraged. In practice they often fail in the bureaucracy - especially in courses with a diploma or master's degree. The complaints about a harrowing hurdles are getting louder.

 

At the German universities are piling up the complaints of diploma and master's students who are against their fellow students in the new bachelor and master degree programs to feel penalized. Change of subject or university experience traditionalists such as hurdles, sometimes they even deny the government the next step.

The rule: From 2010, new students only in the graded system of Bachelor and Master may begin. Therefore, consider the universities already very carefully whether and how many contaminated sites in the form of changers aufhalsen they want. "What happens here is a form of discrimination against students in the old courses," laments John Ludwig Asta from the University of Cologne, where even professionals uniinterne change almost impossible.

Meanwhile, close nationwide over two-thirds of all courses with bachelor or master's from. Some colleges have rules for higher kulante semester, but the chance for a change nor a precise pass Altstudiengang to be found, will always be lower: In Lower Saxony, 91 percent have already been restructured, 87 and in Berlin in Brandenburg 84 percent.

It is debatable whether the reformist joyful Unis überhaupt Altstudenten may be sidelined. The enrollment freeze is in the view of the Cologne Fachanwalts Christian Pearwood "only for the first semester." Rejection higher semester had "no legal basis."

Kluge peas counter.

Many banks offer loans to study. But the students are not too long, but shun the offers - for fear of debt. A wise decision, says Jan Friedmann.

 

The offer may sound tempting: Study first time, treat yourself now and then something that we want the money until a few years back, if you earn good professional. How student loans, the various banks would-be scholars in Germany. Tickten similar to the American consumer or real estate buyers, they would force oneself - you live only once.

But so easy, German students not to get into the pawnshop. Only five percent in the last year a study loan. Individual banks have had their offers because demand already again. Someone offers him money to pump, the student suspicious.

That makes him almost as a model in times of international financial turbulence: counting peas instead of "easy credit". That an effective interest rate of eight percent on a permanent hurts really, can the young German academics, unlike other borrowers seem to figure out. He keeps his money better together: Create, create, build completion, rather in the cafeteria at the stomach dislocated as the bank was a gift.

It deserves the financial industry darbende nothing, sorry, but it proves a virtue, to which academics are actually trained: reason.

Who wants to be a banker now?.

Previously, here on the World Revolution discussed now have stock portfolios - the University of Frankfurt has changed more than almost any other German university. Today, the bankers of tomorrow approached. And even the financial crisis, the euphoria little murky.

 

So a bit of global economic crisis brings Rainer Emsland region not from the concept. Banks may crash together, entire industries falter, the study continues. "There will always be crises," says Emsland.

Even the fellow Ann Sofie Aschenbrenner and Markus Rückert with text to see the hustle and bustle, they have already suffered enough for the ears. They study economics at the Frankfurt Goethe University. And one day, they want to be
Investment bankers play himself in the throng of derivatives, short selling and betting on something.

Now right. "I feel confirmed in my choice," said Aschenbrenner. "People who have something to understand the matter, are always needed."

The young banker push, do not panic

The profession itself may be temporarily less demand globally, the formerly admired Geldvermehrer just released in droves. But if the Frankfurt with the study and are ready to enter the market, are already two to three years. "The financial world," says Markus Rückert, "was still recovering." Rainer Emsland also looks like this: "The good years will come back."

The pragmatism is as healthy as it should be for a university in Germany's leading financial center. Among the students here prevailing view that it is not too many investment bankers do, but to little good.

The successor to equip itself to do better. And the city provides them with everything just out for what is needed: a brand-new university, free of pesky regulations, well equipped with donations and are fantastically located in the most elegant corner of Frankfurt.

If all go well, the three second-half of their unshakable master's degree in the new "House of Finance" training. That is a noble building, built as an interdisciplinary center for the higher financial magic. The best business lawyers and economists from around the world to be here under one roof research. Who it, does not have to pay after the Federal Rules his existence deadlines. The university is free to pay what they want. Particularly, it was possible for an amount ungenannter extent the spouses and Nicola Schündeln Matthias Fuchs Schündeln, both prominent researchers from Harvard zurückzulocken.

"Es gibt wohl keinen schöneren Campus auf dem Kontinent"

Another step on the way to the top university. This is in Frankfurt, said the goal in many brochures is elite and excellence of the speech. The House of Finance is already an external drive Inbild the top. It looks like a bank. For the facade erzsolide expensive Trosselfels was just right. From the polished marble floor shimmers. There are lounges with leather chairs Senator class, and in the lecture halls (here: Lecture Rooms), everything is solid oak, from the floor up to the gently curving rows of seats.

Through the windows, the view of a park around anything that insulted the upscale tastes: South rises Trutzburg the sweeping arch of the architect Hans Poelzig, a protected historic building. This former residence of the group of IG Farben after the war until the nineties, the V Corps of the U.S. army headquarters here. Now in eight floors of the humanities building.

In the spacious park, the construction of Poelzig-out limited to the West, growing up in two rows up new buildings, which are now gradually be populated. In the center is the architect Ferdinand Hörsaalbau heath. Large glass fronts are schiefwinklig incised in the cube. They are so cleverly distributed that all auditoriums daylight received. In the twilight of construction starts from the inside wondrous light.

On the green between the buildings will be when the construction works are completed, more relaxed than a thousand trees are distributed, to ponds, fountains, promenades. "There is probably no more beautiful campus on the continent," says Rudolf Steinberg, the outgoing president.

On the education demo discharged anger about cooking.

Despite the financial crisis and economic Knick - Most are employed by the Singapore's education policy. The theme, Roland Koch, the almost his office would have cost. Parents, teachers and students angry over Turbo-school and large classes. The CDU speaks of "leftist propaganda".

 

Frankfurt - Katharina Horn is a bundle of energy. It stands on the stage at Frankfurt Römerberg and attacked with hearty words the government. "Roland Koch, the number one killer of education", calls the 21-year professional student, her voice-over itself. "G8 is bulimia-learning, the knowledge is only in the students reingestopft."

Horn believes the launch speech on the big demo "right to good education for all". The state school spokeswoman reaps enthusiastic applause - about 5000 people, according to organizers at the iciness Romans arrived.

For Koch, the event four days before the election is a problem. Despite the clear advantage in the polls - together with the FDP's CDU is at 56 percent - the prime minister is unpopular. In a direct, he would only just before his challenger, SPD top candidate Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel.

For 41 percent of the school policy is the "biggest problem"

And the education policy is Kochs Achilles heel. Already last year, she was one of the main reasons for its defeat, the anger on tuition and high school graduation after eight years (G8) was great. Especially angered opponents cooking tuition fees so that he even after his election defeat
with formal tricks tried by a red-red-green alliance Parliament decided at the end of the campus to avoid tolls.

Students spokeswoman Horn: "Cooking is the number one killer of education"

Twelve months after his defeat in the election in January 2008 is now a similar picture - 41 percent cited in a recent survey conducted by the "Frankfurter Rundschau" the school policy as "the biggest problem in Sydney."

At the rally in Frankfurt, parents and students associations, the teachers' union GEW invited. The atmosphere is a massive anti-Koch. On posters, he was "Hesse's biggest liar" geschmäht, in part, Franco Frattini unflätig insulted. For the CDU is clear: The demo is a "leftist propaganda event, the theme of education for the red-red-green campaign instrumentalised". That is what it says in a press release of the parliamentary secretary of the CDU, Axel Meyer winter.

"Whether the issue can tilt the election?"

Indeed, in the crowd, above all, the flags of the SPD, Greens and Left Party to be seen. But Katharina Horn says there was a confrontation with the state government - and the time was now black. Even they have "yet" no party affiliation, said Horn. The judicial assistant visits a vocational school in Kassel and then wants to study business education, become a teacher.

When she leaves the stage, the 21-year-old a thoughtful impression. "I am unsure whether the issue of education the choice may still tilt." Most students were not eligible to vote. Many parents and grandparents, "but they are disappointed" by the CDU and "want a change of policy."

Also, the teachers' union sues to. Jochen Nagel is head of the country GEW and complains: "Sydney is more and more political education - and that is due to the misguided, stock conservative orientation of this government." There were too many classes, too few teachers and little permeability for socially weaker asked.

Schäfer-Gümbel grip after the straw

Kochs people assume, however, can claim from the last election to have learned. There is a new Minister of Culture, the cozy Jürgen Banzer. He presented the comprehensive free to school again after 13 years of age, the country introduced new teachers. Even the tuition fees to be from a black-yellow government will not be reintroduced.

Horn shakes his head: "This is all purely motivated wahltaktisch, cooking is not about a fairer education system, he just wants to be reelected." While Banzer was ready for dialogue, but not the rich. In the election, the CDU also repeatedly events on education boycotted.

For Schäfer-Gümbel education policy is a straw to which he clings like. "G8 is a giant scrap," he says, with his children to experience it on your own body.

Mainzer Neonazi flying from the university.

The University of Mainz raises the Hessian NPD Vice-out. Mario Matthes had on campus a left beaten fellow students and an event to disrupt Wehrmacht crimes. After the winter semester, he must leave the university - at least for half a year.

 

The Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz has the Hessian NPD vice chairman Mario Matthes in the second but now exmatrikuliert. A first attempt was in last summer failed. By the end of the current winter semester, the enrollment of students is revoked, the university announced on Wednesday.

NPD Demo: The University of Mainz continues Hesse NPD Vice before the door

The reason for the Rauswurf, which takes effect in February: Matthes had as accomplices to carry out an academic event hampered by violence and peer applications from exercising his rights and obligations held. That Matthes "the university lasting peace disturbed", the Committee notes Exmatrikulation - after the Higher Education Act of Rhineland-Palatinate, the requirement for a compulsory Exmatrikulation.

The neo-Nazi NPD and had a fellow officer a year ago krankenhausreif and was beaten in August in favor of Mainz court for insulting and serious injury to
eleven months imprisonment on probation and social convicted, his lawyers appealed.

The first attempt, Matthes of the University to throw, it was last summer, a month before the trial, failed. Matthes had the fight even as
a kind of duel between men described, which, after a meeting at the library on the parking lot was out. His opponent, a student of history, described the dispute so that Matthes' senses as "had occurred to him.

"We do not tolerate violence in our university"

Furthermore, the Committee Exmatrikulation apparently was not yet known that Matthes before his outrage was negatively noticed: When an event for the Wehrmacht exhibition was Matthes with just over a dozen other radical right in November 2006 tried to intrude into the auditorium. They wanted the historian Hannes Heer a keynote lecture on "The Third Reich of Guido Knopp - from the media dealing with the Nazi past". The police had Matthes as one of the interferer identified, said the "Frankfurter Rundschau".

University President George Krausch said now that the University of Mainz stand for diversity, tolerance and humanity. "We do not tolerate violence against our institution," said Krausch. Matthes by his behavior had the reputation of the university and the students sustained disturbed. The committee chairman Rolf Höfel, former President of the Administrative Court in Mainz, said the decision had been unanimously.

Einschreibesperre is only valid for one semester

The right-wing extremist attitudes of 24-year history and philosophy students have no role to play, so Höfel. The decisive factor was that the peace Matthes to have disrupted the university. The Rauswurf is not final. For the coming winter semester, the Matthes again appear at the university, only within a period of six months should the Hessian NPD Vice again at the university of Mainz.

The Higher Education Act provides for closure of up to two years ago, said Höfel. The punishment was less because the process for so long had drawn. Furthermore, the committee members "significantly worse incidents" can imagine, said Höfel. Matthes had the possibility to appeal against his Exmatrikulation plea submitted to the Administrative Mainz.

Roland Schaefer, spokesman for the Alliance's "Nazi-free university" and Juso-chairman in the district Mainz-Bingen, welcomed the decision, but said that Rauswurf was only a partial success, as right-wing extremism is not a person to be ascertained. Only recently were toilets on the campus again on anti-Semitic graffiti were discovered. His alliance remain active. Schaefer is also behind the initiative "against Rheinhessen justice". In his home areas Mainz-Bingen Mario Matthes led the district.

Place for reference spoilsport.

How we actually founded a new university? Without academic TÃœV, the expensive "accreditation" is not. They may question the experts on the fateful question - and some expert quickly become the bogeyman, as a recent case from North Rhine-Westphalia shows.

 

In Neunkirchen-Vluyn at Niederrhein, the Trudi Schoop-to-School, named after the famous "female Charlie Chaplin in the thirties. There are, according to the planning professionals in the field of health and social work alongside in "artistic therapies" for a Bachelor and Master are. Initiator spot is a doctorate in medical and social scientists. The Ministry of Science Düsseldorfer already gave his fundamental Okay.

For the "business" needs a university founders initially only a business and a bank of at least one million promise must. So, if it goes wrong, there is enough money to students enrolled on completing it.

In addition, requires an official "Guide for the establishment of private universities in North Rhine-Westphalia academic TÜV plaque (" accreditation ") at issue in the case of the University therapists are now bang. Experts a nationally accredited Prüfagentur need to clarify whether the training program is really hochschulreif or academic titles with only a false gloss on the labor market gives. Specifically, is not very specific medical courses, for example, in "psychological trauma" for which there is at German universities or otherwise, if not a few related examples. Precaution rejected the consortium founding one of the five referees for alleged bias from the time being with success.

Strange competition

The holding of the affected Professor Georg Hörmann and its professional organization, the German Association of Universities for libelous and illegal. Indeed, before his dismissal, the Agency had not consulted the experts, although from the outset, he dutifully had assured his impartiality. He now demanded the reinstatement as an auditor. The national "Accreditation", the regulator on the agencies, provides clear: Not every single assessor, but only the multi-body as a whole can and must balance the technical represent.

In Biotope University thrive wonderful people with their own customs, rules and rituals. Understand the campus code? Is it even for an academic career? Try's - in ten questions to the campus Flegel, Hiwi with ambitions or Knigge king. more ...

The case raises fundamental questions on the accreditation system. Nationwide, there are six Prüfagenturen. All offer the same product: the technical approval for all new courses at private and public universities. "In essence, an administrative assistance for the ministerial approval of the training," explained Hermann Reuke of ZEvA, the oldest agency in the country (since 2000). "The nature of the matter is actually no competition issue."

Nevertheless, any applicant with an approved agency to select him. And is always a welcome customer. Because the seal of quality for most five years will cost about 12,000 euros per course, in the dozen it is cheaper. While the experts are active in the study and document the commission of volunteers on the spot. But in the service sector, for the preparation and handling of all bureaucratic procedures, each agency employs about a dozen professional people, mostly academics income.

Given the choice between the agencies said, for example, the Technical University of Dresden in June 2008, the accreditation of biology courses even as application procedures. They demanded it of the potential contractors to "evidence" to "selection and composition of the expert team." As almost an indirect self-selection klang. An agency applied not so aware. The Accreditation Council for TU hooked irritated after. The case was finally as a mere misunderstanding settled. Nevertheless reiterated Karl Lenz, Dresdener Vice President for Education, to blogs ONLINE: "We expect that our quality performances in the circle of experts widerblogsn."

Hard but fair

In the case of the Trudi Schoop-College seemed the paying customers Bonner Agency Aqas best. The bethought after the appeal against their expert Hörmann immediately. But with the concrete evidence of the alleged bias holds Aqas the affected so far behind compared to the mountain. The speech is ambiguous by "technical differences, which appear in both sides are involved."

In addition, the Aqas management still needed to "fairness to the applicant institution." What they said, remains unclear. By contrast, the medical and academic blogs initiator ONLINE very peacefully, "What inconsistencies, I can announce that I have disagreements with anyone."

About 4000 times the agencies have to present new curriculum review, it was loud Akkreditierungsrat exactly 46 applications. This reflects the role of fluctuating Akkreditierer between the public and private licensor consultants. Full of hope and prospects for the so-Trudi Schoop initiative, the 24th Private university in the Rhine and Ruhr - and cloudy for each spoilsport.
