BOULOUIS, Jean
Observations sur les strucutres des Universités - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1980
After recalling the implementation of university structures prior to the Higher Education Guidance Act 12 November 1968, the author spends some thoughts on present structures to state that notwithstanding the law-maker's clear intent the traditional strucutral rigidity has not given way to flexibility and steady adjustment. Paradoxicaly enough, the old frame appears strengthened in the process, since on the one hand university alone can change things and, on the other, it is more dependent on the UER than the reverse, thus university is stuck with stability. As regards its vital bodies, it appears that reality has turned out quite differently from the conceptual framework the legislator had in mind. Indeed it sems as though higher education cannot be guided the way one can guide agriculture or town-planning. University can only get self-guided whereby the atendant permitted circumstances and conditions have to be clarified
