"Breaking the silence and supporting victims more effectively".

At Rennes-2, the university management is stepping up its fight against violence.

Since Monday, the 21,000 students can now report acts of aggression, harassment or discrimination of which they are victims or witnesses via an online form accessible via the establishment's student intranet.

"This system should considerably improve the alert process, the processing and follow-up of reports", underlines Typhaine Grignard, vice-president of Rennes-2 in charge of student life.

Once submitted, the report will be processed by the student life service and the legal and institutional affairs department of the university.

"With the agreement of the victims, and depending on the nature of the facts reported, a regulation can be put in place with all the stakeholders for the search for possible solutions", specifies the management of Rennes-2 in a press release.

Former Staps director indicted for rape

A written record of the report will be kept, "which gives it an internal handbook function".

Depending on the seriousness of the facts, the president of the university will be informed, “which may lead to referral to the disciplinary commission or even the public prosecutor”.


In June, Rennes-2 University was embroiled in a scandal involving the former director of Staps.

Indicted for rape, the latter had been authorized by the courts to return to teach.

But in the face of the outcry caused by this decision, the management of the university had issued an order to temporarily prohibit him from entering the campus pending his judgment.
