Law professor Jean-Luc Coronel, involved in the violent expulsion of students from the Montpellier university in 2018, was dismissed by the Council of State on Friday September 27, reports France Bleu Hérault. Six years ago, in March 2018, an ultra-violent commando of hooded men armed with nailed wooden boards attacked students during a general assembly who had come to denounce the “Orientation and success” law. of students” and Parcoursup. Eight young people were injured that day.

The professor of legal history had already been convicted at first instance in May 2021 with six other people, including the dean of the faculty. He appealed this decision. “It’s a relief”reacts Jean-Jacques Gandini, honorary lawyer and member of the Montpellier Human Rights League, to France Bleu Hérault. “The dismissal seemed obvious to us, because a university professor who finds himself at the head of the commando and who attacks students in a law room is absolutely unacceptable. And it is not possible that a such a person can teach law to students”he adds.
