Following recent criticism of the working environment and internal procedures at the university, Minister for Research and Higher Education Stéphanie Obertin announced the launch of an external ministerial audit into the governance of the institution.
The new audit, which is separate from but complementary to an audit already approved by the university’s governance council, will examine decision-making processes, the transparency of procedures, and potential conflicts of interest.
The minister said she wants a comprehensive and impartial analysis to identify any sources of dysfunction and reinforce trust within the university. Timetables for the two audits will be announced at a later date.
