Dittrich describes the consequences of those allegations on the life and reputation of the professor and the extent of the protests against him. In the article we encounter a strongly politicized student body that did not shrink from neither loud protests nor legal disputes in order to defame Professor Gärtner and his institute and to enforce their demands for democratization of the university.
