No, this is not a bad university. The research that was found to be false was a development of his thesis work. Therefore, his doctorate has been revoked. Note that he has 30 days to appeal; that means if it is not falsified, he can still walk away with a PhD. However, it is falsified. I happened to work with some scientists from Konstanz last year, and they read his thesis just after the scandal broke. It contained "questionable content".
