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

Miss Piggy Gets Her Just Deserts: German minister Annette Schavan stripped of doctorate 657239230170117291



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

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

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

Large parts of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg's 2006 legal dissertations were found by Bayreuth University to have been copied and he stood down before it issued its damning verdict in May 2011.

Using the same words as Duesseldorf's Heinrich Heine University, it concluded that he had "deliberately deceived".

When Ms Schavan became the second minister in Chancellor Angela Merkel's government to be accused of copying her doctorate, in this case by an anonymous blogger, she insisted she had never "knowingly falsely cited any sources" and promised to respond to the accusations.

But the faculty committee concluded that her work, which dealt with the formation of conscience, included a "substantial number of unaccredited direct quotes from other texts".

In a statement declaring the doctorate invalid and withdrawing it from Ms Schavan, the faculty head Bruno Bleckmann said they had "decided by secret ballot, by 12 votes to two, with one abstention".
