The assault took place in the early evening of November 13, 2026. Emergency services and law enforcement responded quickly. The victim, a university vice-president, received medical attention and is not in danger. An investigation is underway to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
In a statement, Professor Loïc Josseran expressed his support for the victim and their loved ones, as well as for the entire university community. He strongly condemned this act of violence, which occurred in a tense university context, with motives yet unknown and which cannot be justified.
The President reiterated that the university is a place of learning and emancipation, founded on respect, dignity, and solidarity. He reaffirmed that the safety of staff and students remains his top priority. Listening to and supporting those affected by this event are also central to the institution's efforts.
Out of respect for the victim and their family, and to preserve the work of the authorities, no further details will be released at this stage. Additional information will be provided as the situation permits. The President urges everyone to exercise restraint and discernment in their statements.
