=== Criticism of the image as a university for the top management ===
Michael Hartmann, professor of elite-sociology, rejected the image of private german business universities as a training center of the top management. He analyzed the CVs of 440 board members of the 100 largest german companies and came to the conclusion that of public universities such as the [[Paderborn University|University of Paderborn]] three times as many people were represented on the boards as in comparison of the WHU. Only one WHU graduate was on the board. Michael Hartmann also looked at how many top managers had an MBA. Out of 529 top executives, including foreigners, only 28 have an MBA, which corresponds to almost 5 percent.<sup>[[EBS University of Business and Law#cite%20note-43|[43]]][[EBS University of Business and Law#cite%20note-44|[44]]][[EBS University of Business and Law#cite%20note-45|[45]]]</sup>

Criticism

Accusations of problems with the internal culture and excessive stress

The business school has been accused of fostering an overly competitive environment, even at the cost of the mental health of its students. Additionally, they were accused of overly focusing on rankings and grades but insufficiently developing the ability for critical discourse and not succeeding at creating a student body with an appropriate diversity of backgrounds.[30][31] Additional criticisms, including by former students, often focus on exzessive memorisation and a failure to foster a culture of out-of-the-box thinking.[32][30]

After the death of a student who was believed to have died due to overworking himself during an internship but was found to have died due to an underlying condition, the school responded that high pressure is an unfortunately norm in the business world and that they are taking steps to address it.[33]

Controversy about the academic work of Ulrich Lichtenthaler

A former student and then-professor at the University, Ulrich Lichtenthaler, was accused of repeated and significant misconduct in his research and publications.[34][35]

WHU and the University of Mannheim later withdrew his right to teach, and he resigned from his position.[36]

Faculty

The faculty at WHU is organized into six groups: Finance and Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Management, Marketing and Sales, and Supply Chain Management. As of September 2023, there are 42 full professors and 19 assistant professors at WHU who teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels and contribute to the business school's research output.[37]
