Dear Colleague Tulassay,

the German papers are reporting that you have stepped down as rector in protest over the ministry being displeased with your investigation of the Pál Schmitt plagiarism case.

I applaud your courage in continuing the investigation and then stepping down!

I have been researching plagiarism in Germany for the past decade, and am active in the VroniPlag group that is trying to point out the massive amounts of plagiarism in so many doctoral theses in Germany.

I am glad that someone in Hungary is taking a stand – thank you!

Kind regards,

prof. dr. Debora Weber-Wulff
