Problematische Ehrungen | Problematic honors

The following definition of “problematic honors” was used in the critical review of the University of Vienna's honors practice to date in 2022/23:

“Problematic honors are those awarded to individuals who have made anti-Semitic, racist or fascist statements or actions in public or who have expressed prejudices towards group-based misanthropy.”

From today's perspective, 28 people, who received a total of 33 honors, were classified as “problematic” (the number of honorees differs from the number of honors due to three double honors and one triple honor).

These are spread across nine faculties of the University of Vienna, with five honorees or seven honors being awarded to the then Faculty of Medicine/now: Medical University of Vienna (see chart).
