Two years suspended prison sentence required against the former director of Sciences Po Aix. The affair was revealed in 2014 by Marsactu and Médiapart.

765 students are involved, seduced by the promise of a diploma with the stamp of the prestigious school. They will actually receive a master's degree from the University of Aix-Marseille, AMU. The school will not provide any of the training courses. These partnerships were set up by the director of the establishment at the time.
