GenerationLibre draws a series of proposals to maximise the autonomy of French universities, in terms of governance, funding, hiring and teaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The French public university system is facing a double competition from both private schools and the so-called grandes \u00e9coles<\/em>, as well as universities from abroad. In 2021, only four French institutions made it in the Top 100 of the Shanghai ranking. France is clearly losing ground.<\/p>\n

Although successive reforms went the right way, universities are clearly still suffering from an autonomy curtailed by administrative supervision.<\/p>\n

\n

The lack of attractiveness of French public universities is too often analysed with the reductive angle of means allocated rather than the failings of its excessively centralised organisation.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

GenerationLibre draws up a precise and overwhelming assessment: the French system suffers from a disinterest of French elites, a brain drain from students, lecturers and scholars, a lack of equal opportunities for the middle-class, and a decline in scientific production.<\/p>\n

To give universities more legroom, GenerationLibre suggests to act on three levers : independant management (with a new, two-head governance), diversification of sources of funding (overhaul of registration fees, strenghtening of external sponsorships), true pedagogical and recruitment autonomy (students\u2019 selection, hiring of teacher-researchers in the form of tenure track).<\/p>\n
