Patterns of Authority in the Higher Education System in France.

Dry, Jean

International Journal of Institutional Management in Higher Education, v7 n2 p131-35 Jul 1983

Four separate but overlapping power centers in French universities are described and discussed: the state authority (minister), faculty, political and trade unions, and students. Confrontations between these powers have characterized French higher education in the last 15 years, and they have been at the root of the concept of autonomy. (MSE)
