About 100 senior academics from the Germany’s top universities are being prosecuted on the suspicion that they awarded doctorates to hundreds of mediocre or unqualified students after taking bribes from a firm of educational consultants.
It is believed that the students paid between 2000 – 4000 Euros to get their PhDs. Academics at universities including Frankfurt, Berlin, Tubingen, Hamburg and Leipzig were said to have been involved in the bribery scandal.
