Summoned by her management, the teacher from the University of South Brittany (UBS) in Lorient who gave face-to-face lessons to her students despite the ban was not sanctioned, she said on Monday morning to the outcome of his interview.

Since the beginning of January, Florence Gourlay, lecturer in geography, has been giving lessons to master's 1 and 2 students, as well as to L3s, thus defying the health rules in force in universities.

The president of the University Viriginie Dupont had "condemned" this initiative last week and summoned the teacher.

Students in front of the university to support the teacher

To support the latter, nearly 120 people, including students, gathered this Monday in the early morning in front of the university.

"We support this decision in the face of the distress in which the students find themselves and the feeling that all higher education students are not housed in the same boat, because the BTS and preparatory classes can attend face-to-face classes", indicated Frédérique Lalys, co-secretary general of Snes FSU, specifying that the teacher had ensured "strict compliance with health and safety standards".

On Thursday, President Emmanuel Macron wanted students to be able, if they wish, to return to face-to-face classes in lecture halls at the university, at the rate of one day per week and a maximum level of 20%. .
