With a fake academic career, he probably tricked the NRW school ministry and several universities: a consultant for Islamic religious instruction in North Rhine-Westphalia presumably never did a doctorate, although he had a doctorate.
"The doubts about the academic career" had "hardened", said the school ministry in Düsseldorf according to a report in the "Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung".
The cooperation with the Ahmet Ü.
had previously ended.
Ü.
is originally a teacher, according to the report, he has been a pedagogical employee of the NRW Ministry of Education since 2008.
There he worked as an Islamic advisor.
He was also seconded to the University of Duisburg-Essen to pursue his habilitation at the Institute for Turkish Studies.
He taught as a lecturer at the University of Münster.
Because the University of Duisburg-Essen has doubts about the authenticity of Ü.
came up, the collaboration was terminated after four years at the end of July and the contract was not extended.
The university confirmed this to SPIEGEL.
The university's website still lists him as a research assistant, but the content is no longer available.
According to WAZ, the Düsseldorf district government is also dealing with the case because Ahmet Ü.
as a teacher of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is legally bound there.
