Other

[edit]

Schlegelmilch put the "degrees for rent" concept for discussion, which calls for abolishing the current university practice of awarding degrees for life to students. Instead, Schlegelmilch suggests that degrees should be awarded only for a fixed period, after which graduates would need to continuously top up with additional courses to maintain the validity of their degree (a key tenet of lifelong education). ("Why MBAs should keep going back to school", Financial Times, January 3, 2019)[22] Schlegelmilch also called for radical innovations of business Schools.[23]
