Oh, you mean I have to write my dissertation myself? Scheisse!

Posted on 7:39 AM by Unknown
Germany's Minister of Education (!) has been stripped of her doctorate due to plagiarism.

Maybe they should check all of the doctorates, and maybe they should do it at the time, rather than decades later ....

Addendum: Scheisse! I spelled Scheisse incorrectly ... it is fixed now, thanks to Rudi. Plus you can find more links at Rudi's blog e.g. here.
