Compensation for tutoring

Nobody tutors a doctoral thesis for money. It simply does not pay off, and someone can probably earn better flipping burgers than advising doctoral students.

Still, the SoD gives a small compensation for tutors. It goes like this.

Traditionally, we pay for 10 hours of work for a doctoral degree. Thus, if you have two tutors, they are paid for 5 hours each. This is a ridiculous sum, and only covers their copy expenses and a few books, but that's better than nothing.

Currently, we are considering raising the sum significantly. If this takes place, we will also cut down the number of doctoral students, or risk running out of money completely. More information follows 2009.

The only exception to this compensation policy are the SoD professors, who are not paid anything.
