German minister stripped of doctorate

2013-02-06 12:00:56 | (0 Comments)

A German university has voted to strip Education Minister Annette Schavan of her doctorate after an investigation into plagiarism allegations.

The University of Duesseldorf's philosophy faculty decided yesterday that she had carried out a deliberate deception through plagiarism.

The minister has denied the claims and says she will appeal.

An earlier plagiarism row brought an end to the political career of Germany's defence minister in 2011.
