Hungary’s Semmelweis University stripped President Pal Schmitt of his doctoral degree after deciding he’d copied most of his thesis 20 years earlier, Bloomberg Businessweek reported.
Schmitt’s thesis “didn’t meet the ethical and professional criteria of scientific work,” Rector Tivadar Tulassay told reporters in Budapest in televised remarks on Wednesday.
The university’s highest ranking decision-making body, the Senate, repealed the politician’s title after a recommendation from the doctoral commission. Schmitt, who was returning from a conference in South Korea yesterday, was unavailable for comment, a spokeswoman at his office said.
