A second male Indian student has come forward saying he was rejected for an internship with a German professor because of India’s “rape problem”.
Professor Annette Beck-Sickinger, a biochemistry lecturer at the University of Leipzig, has been widely criticised and even written to by the German ambassador in Delhi after an alleged email from her to a first student went viral.
In the original message, posted to the Q and A website Quora, the professor was accused of telling an applicant: “Unfortunately I don’t accept any Indian male students for internships. We hear a lot about the rape problem in India, which I cannot support.
“I have many female friends in my group, so I think this attitude is something that I cannot support.”
Prof Beck-Sickinger has denied ever sending an email in this form, and her university is standing by her – but a second Indian man has now made similar claims against the teacher after he was made aware of the furore. Full story...
