Summary Head of university that revoked doctorate of Hungary's president due to plagiarism has resigned.
Tivadar Tulassay said Sunday that the decision by Semmelweis University to revoke President Pal Schmitts 1992 doctorate has led to a noticeable loss of confidence in Tulassay by the Ministry of National Resources, which oversees education matters.Tulassay says that he will notify the ministry on Monday about his departure, which he hopes will ensure the university can return to normalcy after the scandal.Following up on media reports, a university investigation found Tuesday that some 200 pages of Schmitts 215-page thesis on the modern Olympic Games was mostly copied from two other authors.Schmitt has said he will not resign.
