The Blog

Most called for a personal evaluation. And now know more: Since Wednesday and until the end of the week, students are sent Pisa certificates. By e-mail each participant gets the questions again to see that he was asked and the answers he gave. Moreover, he in black and white to read the solution, which would have been correct.

The certificates are expected for some eye-care effect. Because only a minority of participants have succeeded in all tasks. About two thirds - ie 30 out of 45 questions - to answer has to know, is already above the average.

A detailed analysis will be published shortly in blogs to read, the magazine is expected to be reported in detail in May. Then, any remaining mystery resolved: Knowledge women more than men? What can the average student? Which universities studying the brightest minds?

The general knowledge test can be found on blogs continue ONLINE - Pisa student quiz with all 180 questions, divided into the different fields of knowledge. Among the responses, often there is additional information and links on the topic.

Habemus president.

White smoke on Eichstaett: Reinhard Hütter now heads the Catholic University - by Bishop Grace. A year ago, had already been a top manager as the new head of Uni-gewähnt. But then sparked a Bavarian Upper Shepherd and the Vatican from fierce infighting.

 

Reinhard Hütter, 50, becomes the new President of Personalquerelen beleaguered Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (KU). The University chose the theologians on Wednesday in the second ballot - with 13 of 16 votes.

Hütter was previously a professor at Duke University in Durham (USA). His office is in Eichstätt on 1 August applies. Hütter follows Rudolf fish, which had led KU acting. This was the university for all three candidates before the election

Uni Eichstätt: After much infighting, a new President

This should be an udder scandal be avoided. Almost exactly a year ago, the Eichstätter Bishop Gregor Maria Hanke the appointment of Ulrich Hemel for new president
with his veto prevented. The theologian and former top executive was previously the University with a clear majority was elected.

Before No. of Hanke was known that the Vatican refuses Hemel. Hemel life - the clergyman is married for the third time - and his critical attitude toward Pope Benedict XVI as a background were suspected of resistance. Hemel criticized in an interview with online blogs, we did not provide him with reasons and any
"no chance left, a relationship of trust.

Bishop Hanke widened after his veto Hemel his participation at the KU officially: For any future presidential election he secured an indirect pre-law - he must, the list of candidates to view and delete names. The University agreed.

Catholic Church wants durchregieren

Shortly after the failed candidacy of the former Hemel was chancellor of the University, Gottfried Freiherr von der Heydt, on leave with immediate effect. The Senate chairman Maximilianstraße fox came out of his office back.

In November, the Bavarian bishops for renewed controversy at the University: Although they announced that every year 1.3 million euros in addition to the regular budget of the fund goes to university. At the same time, Bishop Hanke, however, the influence of the Catholic Church on the university to expand - suggesting harsh criticism from students and teachers met.

The bishops want a higher profile of the university as a Catholic educational institution: "This profile does not only mean the Confessional," said the Archbishop Reinhard Marx of Munich. Rather, this means profiling, "from the horizon of the Christian faith" science activities.

The Eichstätter Uni should be for example in the field of educational research to make a name. The decision of the seven bishops in their dioceses Bavarian Autumn Assembly in Freising.

Eichstaett Bishop Hanke wanted Hütter, the Office on 1 August applies to God's blessing. With the election was a viable foundation for the
Future has been laid. Hanke assured the new president's "full
Cooperation "to.

The Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt is unique in the German language area. The university has eight faculties at present, about 50 subjects taught. The approximately 4,600 students from 120 professors and more than 200 scientific staff supervised. The University is approximately three-fourths of the state of Bavaria, a district of the Bavarian bishops funded.

"This is not an isolated case".

When erwischt fib: 16 Göttinger researchers are suspected of having falsified lists of publications to cover funding abzuräumen. In scores of science with as many publications. Strengthens the practice of evaluating the trend towards mass class?

 

In June, in Göttingen, the "Adventure Science" is celebrated. Thus, a festival with which the city the title "city of the young science 2009" will rejoice. But Kurt von Figura, Rector of the University of Göttingen, is now so do not celebrate feast. The reputation of the university was "significantly damaged", he informed on Monday in an opinion thereof.

The DFG, with a budget of 2.3 billion euros in Europe's largest research funders, wished to not comment further questions. Ulrike Beisiegel, as the DFG ombudsman since 2005, with questions of scientific misconduct employed, but already the case in Göttingen was "not an isolated case," she blogs ONLINE. Again and again they get fake trials on the table. "We get but of course only the tip of the iceberg can be seen," says Beisiegel.

In Göttinger case cited researchers in their application of 3 December 2008 manuscripts that have not yet published, but only when journals were submitted, a practice by no means rare in the DFG process. The fact that the manuscripts, however, not yet or only existed in the initial stage, the evaluators learned only by a hint of a scientist. Perhaps it would be inappropriate otherwise hardly been noticed. "The naming is not yet published manuscripts is customary, it should not be," says Beisiegel.

In most cases, the DFG and valuers in the requests referred to submit manuscripts. For a detailed assessment, however, often lack the time: "The scientific system is running a little about, there are too many applications and too few experts," says Beisiegel ombudswoman. Was necessary to rethink the whole system: "Three publications should be good enough - instead of a long list."

Evaluators under time pressure

Even Hildegard Westphal, geologist at the University of Bremen, and even expert, notes that there is "here and there, the mentality that goes mass before class." The basic problem was that "the basic facilities of the universities has become increasingly worse and the universities are dependent on third-party." While thus the pressure on scientists and the growing importance of applications for the universities are growing, according to the experts working in the shadow Westphal, the appreciation of the consulting activities is too low. "It costs a lot of time when you want it right, but it appears not in the biography and play in the proper performance grades do not matter. Would that otherwise would certainly change a lot."

The literary scholar Albrecht Koschorke with the procedure of the familiar advice - and gives to the entries in the applications to trust. "It would not me in the sense that my assistants loszuschicken to the publications to verify," says Professor of Constance, in 2003, the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the DFG won.

However, there are differences between the humanities and the sciences. There it was "very difficult, in the major journals to publish", manuscripts were very long in newsrooms before they were adopted, so Koschorke. Time, the deadlines specified in the requests often do not stick.

"More on the manuscripts eight"

For problems with the application considers Koschorke anyway less than the publication lists the need for innovation. "At the request must prove that a completely new product works." A little freedom, he also looks at the themes of finding research projects. "In the report, certain keywords occur, for example, globalization, religion and violence, and the project should be interdisciplinary," said Koschorke. "That leads to a single topic in the applications submitted." Moreover, always referred to, which at the end of the research will come out. "If you blufft, then by more promises than you can eventually find out."

Also, the literary scholar, the applicant, given the financial plight of the universities to the success damned: "The universities are so emaciated that it was to safeguard the fundamental need to raise external financing." About the bureaucratisation of research proposals recently led the German Leibniz Prize plea. In a
blogs ONLINE survey wanted the Göttingen philologist Heinrich Detering less about "the application and advice prose."

Göttingen Rector drew in his opinion the first consequences of the counterfeiting allegations in requests from his university would in future only be published or accepted for publication publications "are indicated, Figura. Moreover, initial steps towards the improvement of quality management have been initiated.

Beisiegel ombudswoman praises these steps, the University was exemplary, "because they act consistently - that I wanted from all universities." She is sure that the scandal will also have something good: "The referees will be more on the manuscripts are ensured."

Academe stops scandal researchers.

Sudden end of a flagship project: Following allegations of forgery includes the University of Göttingen Sonderforschungsbereich rain forests - the tropical scientist, said the accusation that wanted to grant money wrongfully. The case also presents weaknesses of research funding in Germany.

 

Hamburg - For a department of the University is approaching the end: Because of the justified suspicion of academic misconduct will be the Sonderforschungsbereich 552 in the coming weeks, gave the university on Wednesday.

Aula of the University of Göttingen: 'reputation significantly damaged "

The Collaborative Research Center bears the name of "stability of tropical rain forest fringes in Indonesia". For almost nine years under a hundred members of changes in the Indonesian jungle. The flagship project of the elite university now ends in a fiasco: 16 scientists from the special area will be in a request for assistance by the German Research Foundation (DFG) false statements made about publications Publications and partly invented.

For already published articles have referred to the investigation of the University of any irregularities, said a university spokeswoman, on Wednesday. The allegations took only information about the publication of manuscripts submitted to journals by scientists. When the university internal investigations are completed, could not yet say.

"Regardless of the outcome of the test procedure is the reputation of the University of Göttingen significantly damaged," said Kurt von Figura rector on Monday. A similar suspicion was also in a graduate program on the "importance of biodiversity for material cycles and biotic interactions in temperate deciduous forests" result.

To avoid scandal, the university withdrew the request for 8.6 million euro research funding and also waived the usual outlet financing. The promotion will be on 30 June 2009 question.

"The students do not have much of it".

Monstrous six million euros from the campus toll bunkert the Niederrhein University. And do not think that the money be returned to the students: There will be high on the edge store - a remarkable example of brazen dealing with tuition fees.

 

Too much money to have is a rather rare, a beautiful, a luxury problem. Too much money can you spend or give away. It could also saving so that security for poorer times wins. In any case, it should be one's own money, not the money of other people.

Hochschule Niederrhein
Niederrhein University: "Now we have it in black and white"

Just the throw but students of the Niederrhein University in Krefeld and Moenchengladbach before their college. Since the winter semester 2006/2007, the approximately 10,000 students, like their fellow sufferers almost everywhere in North Rhine-Westphalia, 500 euros per semester to pay tuition fees.

Since a lot of money comes along. And it should, so the fees have friends like National Science Minister Andreas Pinkwart (FDP) always insisted on the improvement of teaching are spent, for nothing else. This is also in North Rhine-Westphalia study contribute Law: The revenues had been "earmarked for the improvement of teaching and study conditions" to be used.

At first glance, it looks at the Niederrhein University, the second largest University in the country as if that would Rector Hermann East Village to meet this requirement. Language and psychosocial counseling were created tutorials for the students and staff time purchased, the library has received more money, and you managed equipment for lecture halls and laboratories at.

The students: "Let's buy a football club"

Student representatives have meticulously calculated after: all this has cost the first year of fee collection and 2,068,789 euros in the year to 3,865,355 euros again. The problem: In the year 2008, the University just over three million euros in income from fees, which they had spent in 2007. A year later, the turn of the year 2008/2009, this amount had already doubled and was at six million euros swollen.

Given such large sums of money the students make sense now the question: If the university tuition fees, which they do not need?

The UAS now sitting on a nice pile of money, "criticized the Asta in the" 42 "- along with a meticulous listing of the revenue from tuition fees and expenditure, broken down by funding for the Social Fund, the definitions and general expenses. "Now we have it in black and white," says Asta member Robert Kramer, 30

Gestolpert the students were on a list of revenue and expenditure, the university presented in autumn 2008 - up a chaotic, "said Robert Kramer," we were all just a big question mark over his head. " Thus did the student representatives out ackerten by Zahlenwust and attracted a lot of money to the university either intentionally withheld or simply could not spend. Therefore, the Asta some sarcastic suggestions parat: "Why not take a football club to buy?" Or five million chocolate bars. Or a small island in the Mediterranean Sea ...

The Rector: "It is the State, which saves a bit"

From the perspective of the East Village Rector, however, everything is in the green: "We reckon there and back, our revenue from tuition fees are six million euros a year," he said blogs ONLINE. The fact that three million euros per year are left, is already more well known and well intended. The money would be "medium term until 2015 to invest in personnel, specifically in 15 professors and staff as many bodies," says Ostendorf.

Hochschule Niederrhein
Rector East Village: "Charges will also form the basis"

Actually, the creation and payment of professors task of the country, says the Krefelder Hochschulrektorenkonferenz - as far as he is with the student representatives agreed. But what should he do? "We have given further thought, because the country will in future not so provide, as we need it."

Tuition fees were just "not only for a certain amount of luxury here, but also secure the base," says Ostendorf. The fact that the students who are already $ 1000 a year to pay for their studies, this "medium" planning nothing useful, also rector of the way: "The students do not have much of it, we as a university can not - it is the State of some saves. "

The Lower School also shows considerable else penchant for thrift - according to the students at the same time it pads with four million unspent state funds. Power with the campus toll-Euros together satte ten million, all accumulated for worse times. But if the FH the money sometime later for professorships or construction issues, many of today's students have already graduated. So you pay for future generations of students.

The Senate: Hurray, finally, we are millionaires

Before the Senate meeting on Monday expressed the Asta-million because of provisions a clear demand: Because the FH only half of the money issue, we also want to pay only half, ie 250 instead of 500 euros per semester. With their application bites the students in the 23-member Senate, however, on granite. Halving the toll Campus - criticized, with 14 abstentions, four yes and four abstentions. And the reduction of 100 euros, as a professor requested - criticized, with the narrow majority of twelve votes against.

TUITION FEES

Click on the countries to learn more about the decision situation there to know ...

Two and a half hours discussing the Senate on the campuses tolls, and everything stays as it is: The Rector, the more money bunkers. And costly plans for the future forge. "This is very bitter," says Robert Kramer. He speaks very quietly, but his anger is clearly apparent, and he shares with other student representatives.

"For students, 1000 euros a year crass financial burden," says the student of electrical engineering, "this money just to park for years, it is sheer mockery." In his view, the rectorate humiliates the students and selects "the most convenient way." "They should do their homework and the millions of us make sense or to return, because we need it urgently," he exhorts.

What the purpose is yet, and when students are veräppelt feel, is on the Lower Rhine as in many other German universities a dispute theme: "Improving the Teaching", which may be considered by the Rectorate mean so much - including the investment in
Stones,
Heating of classrooms or the renovation of
Toilets. Or they
Simply dumping the money in the budget hole.

The Minister: Lectureships Euros from students? Famos!

Professors to pay only part of their working time devoted to teaching, is so far unique to the tasks of the country. Also this should be in NRW students now pay. And a driving force for science minister Pinkwart.

As in the autumn of 2008, the University of Cologne announced, 50 students and professor with money to finance Pinkwart quite enthused. Also Bielefeld and Bonn had before, to create such bodies, the Minister announced in late November: "I welcome this trend and would like to specifically encourage the universities to get more involved."

Baden-Württemberg allowed this sin is somewhat earlier, for the first time last summer. There will soon
300 professors, students paid.

It is now clear where the journey leads. Only major improvements were promised, then the tuition fees in several German states introduced. And now, nearing the end of the period of shame: By and by taking students through the funding of the normal program at the universities and polytechnics. Meanwhile, can the state is the primary draw back and the money saved. Improvement of teaching? Not in the long run.

This creeping process harms not only the students but also the politics, angry Robert Kramer. Actors such as Pinkwart were guilty but that "more and more people to 'up there' curse ', because they feel veralbert". Kramer is not apathy, he wants to continue fighting. But he can understand the fellow who retire frustrated.

Thursday, 22 January: Large saber rattling

For three days I only see my bed and the bathroom. My stomach is crazy, the head hurts, as if someone has a sidewalk plate crush on him. I think: Israel threatened my health. Maybe I have just too much to drink tap water.

I read the news. In three weeks elect of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the rights occurs against a half-ciples to Livni. The head of the supposedly left Labor Party is Ehud Barak, current Defense Minister, former Prime Minister and one of those responsible for the attack on Gaza in December. The big star of the election seems to be Avigdor Lieberman. He is still right as Netanyahu and Livni and leaves rather than the saber rattling Barak.

My roommate Esther brings me a cup of tea. I wonder who they will choose. "Let us talk about it later," she says. "I have just a good mood."

By the time arose between the pillars of a market in which the visitors to buy sacrificial animals and money could change. The Bible says that Jesus of Nazareth was precisely here, the tables of money changers and they chased umschmiss.

My instructor has his own interpretation: "Jesus came from the north, from the country. Today he would be a farmer from a kibbutz, a Kibbuznik. He had no idea of the city. He attacked the money changers, though they do not directly in the temple sat. Then he founded a new religion. "

I think there is worse than a Kibbuznik to believe.

Avigdor Lieberman is sitting in the office of his party "Israel Beitenu (Israel Our Home) in the small town Kirjat Gat, half way from Jerusalem to Gaza. 20 journalists whir around him. Today, the new elected Knesset, the Israeli parliament. His campaign slogan: "No citizen without loyalty."

Markus Flohr, 28, was editor for blogs online since October and is studying history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

This is mainly addressed to the Palestinians living in Israel. When Israel's army in the Gaza Strip in the war, they go on the road that often leads to riots with the police. Many Jewish Israelis, they are as a fifth column of Hamas seen. You even have the feeling second-class citizens to be.

Lieberman finds, the Israeli army in Gaza would have even greater need to succeed. He speaks Hebrew with a Russian accent. His voters will find it especially among the Jews who immigrated from there. Today, on election day, he toured through the cities: Kirjat Gat, Aschdod, Ashkelon.

In the evening, the projections: Livni seems, with 23 percent just before Netanyahu to lie, but the victory would not help her, because she can not bring together a majority. Third strongest force Lieberman, he landed at twelve percent. Barak Labor Party crashes.

During the night a storm moves over Jerusalem, waterfalls plunge from the sky, the power is out, the Internet is gone, everything is dark. Ten hours a day, I do not know who really won. In any case, Avigdor Lieberman.

Researchers should have invented Publications.

Actually, they examine the rainforest in Indonesia, are now more than a dozen researchers from Göttingen even before a commission of inquiry. After blogs information when they apply for funding geschwindelt - and some publications simply invented.

 

Hamburg - 16 researchers from the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen must before a commission of inquiry of the university because of the suspicion of scientific misconduct responsibility. The Uni-President confirmed Kurt von Figura the blogs. The allegations are serious: The researchers will be in an application for research funding by the German Research Foundation (DFG) false statements made about publications Publications and partly invented.

Teaching at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen: "The reputation is significantly damaged."

In the open is the dizziness in February when evaluating the application for further promotion of
Sonderforschungsbereich 552, which deals with the change in the rainforest in Indonesia addresses. For the project work in the universities of Göttingen and Kassel together. In principle,
Special research areas for up to 12 years from the DFG promoted. But they have to work their regular external check.

The disgruntled expert in Göttingen threatened their suitcases to pack immediately. To avoid scandal, the university withdrew the request for 8.6 million euro research funding and also waived the usual outlet financing.

A similar suspicion "against scientists, there is, according to university management, including in connection with a graduate program on biodiversity.

Because of the incidents fears Figura university president to the reputation of the elite university: "The reputation is significantly damaged." Auditor of the DFG and the University are also looking at the question of whether the already approved research funds were used properly. The blogs present e-mails and minutes of meetings lay the suspicion that at least 200,000 euros for other tasks may have been diverted. Figura wanted to make any comment and referred to the ongoing examination.
