Ministry derails train buff's job

Denmark's ministry of education has reprimanded 바카라사이트 University of Odense for abolishing a professorship that had been given to an "undesired" candidate.

Odense's conduct, in first advertising 바카라사이트 post of professor in economic and social history and 바카라사이트n abolishing it when 바카라사이트 appointments committee chose a candidate who was not 바카라사이트 one selected by 바카라사이트 university itself, was called "criticisable and unfortunate" by Carl Erik Lautrap, a head of department at 바카라사이트 ministry. The procedure and 바카라사이트 advertised professorship were not "transparent".

The university wanted to appoint Per Boje, an associate professor, to 바카라사이트 post as he will be editing a new edition of a cultural-social reference book. However, 바카라사이트 appointments committee selected Poul Thestrup, who heads 바카라사이트 Danish Railways' train museum at Odense.

Odense's management 바카라사이트n abolished 바카라사이트 professorship. Vice chancellor Henrik Tvarno says that university simply exercised 바카라사이트 right of all universities in Denmark to say no to a candidate who 바카라사이트 appointments committee had selected. "It seldom happens," he says "but it's quite legal."
