How Private Universities Could Help to Improve Public Ones
A. There are many rich Germans. In 2003 private assets are estimated to have been worth 5 trillion , half of which belongs to the richest tenth of the population. But with money comes stinginess, especially when it comes to giving to higher education. America devotes twice as much of its income to universities and colleges as Germany mainly because of higher private spendingand bigger donations.
B. Next years figures should be less embarrassing. In November Klaus Jacobs, a German-born billionaire living abroad, announced that he would donate 200m to the International University Bremen the biggest such gift ever. It saved the IUB , Germanys only fully fledged private and international university from bankruptcy. It may also soften the countrys still rigid approach to higher education.
C. German higher education has long been almost entirely a state-run affair, not least because universities were meant to produce top civil servants. After 1945 the German states were put in charge, deciding on such details as examination and admission rules. Reforms in the 1970s made things worse by strengthening, in the name of democracy, a layer of bureaucracy in the form of committees of self-governance.
