Institut d’études politiques de Paris
In 2021, Sciences Po was hit by the Duhamel scandal, mainly put forward by the best-seller book "La Familia Grande" and newspaper articles from "Le Monde" and "Nouvel Obs", a sexual violence scandal one and a succession crisis. Olivier Duhamel, director of the National Foundation of Sciences Po, Frédéric Mion, director of Sciences Po, and other members of the board of these institutions resigned. It led to appeals to a reform of the governance of Sciences Po. Instead, Sciences Po faced "ultimate attempts of a generation to maintain control of the designation of a successor for Duhamel". This process further tarnished the reputation of Sciences Po. "L'Express" later published an significative investigation on the transformations of Sciences Po since the 1990s, called "Sciences Po goes off the rails".
