CSU General Secretary Martin Huber voluntarily renounces his doctorate. With this message, Huber reacted to the review of his doctoral thesis by Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU).

According to a statement from the LMU, the responsible doctoral committee did not see any "proven deception", but determined "that the handling of the formalities as a scientific technique does not correspond to the scientific requirements of a dissertation".
