Disciplinary dismissal for grant fraud: special aggravating factor for university professor misconduct
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) ordered the admission of the defendant's appeal, granting it significance of general principle and vacating the lower court's decision for remand, as no substantive judgment on the merits was rendered in this interlocutory order. The dispute involves a disciplinary proceeding against a university professor regarding alleged research grant fraud, specifically challenging the assessment of disciplinary measures including dismissal from the civil service. The decisive legal basis centers on § 67 Sentence 1 of the North Rhine-Westphalia Civil Service Act (LDG NRW) in conjunction with § 132 No. 1 of the Administrative Court Rules (VwGO), focusing on whether specific service-related misconduct by a university professor constitutes a special aggravating factor (the "university professor minus") for the severity of disciplinary sanctions.

Disziplinare Ahndung eines Fördermittelbetrugs durch Hochschullehrer; Zulassung der Revision wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung
[GRUENDE]
Die Revision des Beklagten ist zuzulassen, weil die Rechtssache grundsätzliche Bedeutung im Sinne von § 67 Satz 1 LDG NRW i.V.m. § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO hat.
Das Revisionsverfahren erscheint geeignet, zur Klärung der Frage beizutragen, ob und ggf. unter welchen Voraussetzungen es einen besonderen Erschwerungsgrund für die Bemessung einer Disziplinarmaßnahme - hier: Entfernung aus dem Beamtenverhältnis - darstellt, dass es sich um ein dienstliches Fehlverhalten bei der Erfüllung der Dienstaufgaben eines Hochschullehrers handelt (Hochschullehrer-"Malus").
