Germany’s education minister and a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel was fighting for her political life on Wednesday after her former university stripped her of her doctorate for plagiarism.
Annette Schavan vowed to launch a legal battle against Duesseldorf University’s ruling on her thesis, “Person and Conscience”, written 33 years ago, amid opposition calls for her to resign.

I'm guessing this type of shit happens a lot in the academic world and flies under the radar most of the time.

How is she doing as education minister though? Have the stats indicated that she showed a good improvement within Germany?
If so, then let bygones be bygones, she's doing her job well. If not, then use this as leverage to get a new education minister who can do some good.

She has a (well, used to have ) PhD in "Educational Sciences". I daresay it was useless to begin with.
But yeah a lot of german politicians have been stripped of their doctorates over the past few years, the internet age is sure catching up with them

It's really hard to imagine her as a "chick." By comparison Merkel almost looks semi attractive- almost.

Education minister plagiarizes, pretty much sums up the average education specialist in the western world.

Ha. This is no doubt a result of the Toronto school board head being canned when evidence of a long history of plagiarism arose last month. I bet school boards all over the world are double checking on a lot of people.

This. Apparently getting a plagiarized PHD in Germany used to be pretty easy.
