Act as head of the association

In 2009, during Kasper's tenure, the regional association made the contribution to the multi-site (Detmold, Kalkriese, Haltern) exhibition project “2000 Years of the Varus Battle” in the Lippisches Landesmuseum under the title “Myth”. Further measures included the merger of the theological library of the Lippische Landeskirche with the Lippische Landesbibliothek Detmold as well as an agreement with the Lippe district on further cultural tasks: The regional association took over shares in the Weser Renaissance Museum in Brake Castle and the Northwest German Philharmonic as well as the youth culture ring; In return, the association gave its share in the loss-making operation of the local recreation center Schiedersee GmbH to the Lippe district.

As chairman of the supervisory board of Staatsbad Meinberg GmbH, he initiated the redesign of the thermal mineral bath in Bad Meinberg and the spa guest center in the historic spa park, as well as the transfer of management to a private service provider.

Plagiarism affair

In 2008, researchers from the German University of Administrative Sciences in Speyer found a number of transcribed passages in Kasper's dissertation that were not marked as quotations . The University of Göttingen decided in June 2009 to revoke Kasper's doctoral degree after it had rated Kasper's dissertation as plagiarism .

In addition, the Göttingen public prosecutor's office initiated criminal proceedings for violating the copyright law. She invoked a special public interest in law enforcement, since Kasper held a high office. In January 2010, a penalty order of 90 daily rates (9,000 euros) was issued against Kasper , against which he raised no objection. In June 2010 the Detmold public prosecutor dropped proceedings for further plagiarism for articles in specialist journals against payment of a fine of 10,000 euros.

Deselection

As a result of the affair, Kasper lost his office as head of the association in May 2010. He had refused to resign on the grounds that the doctorate was not a prerequisite for his election as head of the association. A dismissal by the North Rhine-Westphalian Interior Minister through official channels had refused. Thereupon the association assembly of the regional association Lippe voted him unanimously.
