Other

Schlegelmilch is a leading proponent of the "degrees for rent" concept, which calls for abolishing the current university practice of awarding degrees for life to students. Instead, Schlegelmilch maintains 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).
