In my university, almost all professors do it. All articles produced here have several names in them, but are actually made by just 1 or 2 people. Also, professors force us into putting their names in our publications even when they don't even give any guidance. Everyone around thinks that this system is normal and will force newcomers into it.

    What are the repercussions if you refuse?

    You get ostracized, will lose any scholarship you have and likely won't even finish the course. These days, it got even worse, because a lot of courses are adding a FORMAL REQUIREMENT to have the names of your supervisors in ANY publications you make related to your work while you're in the course, or you won't get your diploma.

    Your university sounds like a dangerous place to learn.
