            Charles University hereby states that it is currently reviewing the circumstances under wh
            title of PhDr. was awarded to Andreas Scheuer in 2004.

            Suspicions have recently been raised in the media that Mr. Scheuer’s essay was plagiarised
            from which the media infer that the essay was plagiarised (acceptance without proper stati

            in text published by the German Federal Agency for Civic Education in cooperation with the
            Münster), was non-public and unknown to Charles University at the time at which the title 
            Charles University is currently undertaking its own review to verify whether or not this n

            true. The thesis and records of Mr. Scheuer’s rigorosum examination were retrieved from th
            morning of Monday 20 January and the essay itself digitalised in the course of the day in 
            be examined using anti-plagiarism software. The results of this examination shall be avail

            21 January 2014. Should Charles University’s own review find that the essay was plagiarise
            matter shall immediately be passed on to the CU Ethics Committee for further discussion.
