A Nazi ministerial decree stripped Adorno of his right to teach.

Evidence

In April 1933 he had cancelled his university courses in Germany for the approaching summer semester, on the grounds that he wanted to complete an extended academic project'. In July the dean of the Faculty of Philosophy informed him that, following a ministerial decree, those who had taken sabbatical leave during the summer semester, or had not made use of their authorization to teach, would not be included in the lecture list for the winter semester either.’ In September the ministry withdrew his authorization to teach. … Adorno still believed in the possibility of hibernating through everything that was going on, and in one of his music reviews, which were published increasingly rarely, he produced an example of political opportunism. He wrote a review of Herbert Muntzel’s The Banner of the Persecuted: A Cycle for Male Choir after the Volume of Poems of the Same Title by Baldur von Schirach which was published in the respected music journal Die Musik. … Adorno was probably thinking of this disguised commendation when he wrote proudly to Horkheimer in November 1934 that he had even published some material in Germany, without having to make any concessions'. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 634</cite> (#exemplifies`, via linked claim)
