Gulyás Michelle: Nem szeretném, hogy minden rólam szóljon! (VIDEÓ)
Viharoktól sem mentes, de rendkívül eredményes esztendőt zárt a magyar öttusasport – volt tehát mit ünnepelni a szövetség évzáró gáláján.
Last week, Hungary's President Pál Schmitt was forced to resign.
„Last week, Hungary's President Pál Schmitt was forced to resign because of plagiarism detected in his 1992 PhD thesis on physical education. Tivadar Tulassay, rector of Budapest's prestigious Semmelweis University, showed admirable courage by standing up to the Hungarian establishment to revoke the thesis a few days earlier, after experts appointed by the university declared that Schmitt's thesis »failed to meet scientific and ethical standards«. Tulassay, a cardiovascular researcher, has since assumed personal responsibility for his university's decision to revoke Schmitt's title. (...)
In many central European countries, an academic title is a decided advantage for a political career; clearly, some ambitious politicians think nothing of obtaining such a title by cheating. We can thank the plagiarism hunters — whatever their individual motives — for exposing dishonesty among those who govern us, and for defending the honour of a PhD. The only safe doctorate these days is an honestly acquired one.”
