(1) It is rare for a tale of academic mismanagement in a small institution to grab national attention. But Sciences-Po is no ordinary university. The four most recent French Presidents, including Francois Hollande, studied there. In the heart of the Parisian left bank, it attracts top-rated students and staff. And it has been without a head since its former director, Richard Descoings, died suddenly in April in a New York hotel room.
(2) Now a report on Sciences-Po by the national auditor that talks of "management failure" and "numerous violations" has sparked furious debate. Critics have seized on managerial extravagance. Aggrieved students, whose tuition fees have risen sharply, have denounced excessive pay. Others have called for board resignations. And the higher-education minister, Genevieve Fioraso, has rejected Sciences-Po’s choice of successor—Herve Cres, its deputy director—and imposed a caretaker.
(3) Sciences-Po is an odd creature. The state finances half its budget, but the school is run by a private foundation and is thus unconstrained by rules about selection, fees and salary caps that bind other public universities. Between 2005 and 2010, the school’s budget jumped by over 60%, the state subsidy rose by a third and Sciences-Po more than doubled its student intake, to 3 500. But, says the auditor, it added too many administrative staff, paid them and faculty members too much (Descoings earned €537 247 or $711585 in 2010) and also took on "risky debt". The mismanagement, admits one professor, was "scandalous".
(4) Sciences-Po says it will clean things up and improve transparency. But the debate has broadened: should it return to its old role as a public-service feeder for the Ecole Nationale D’Administration (ENA), the top civil-service graduate school? Or should Sciences-Po continue with Descoings’s project to turn it into an American-style university that competes globally for students and researchers?
(5) For all his faults, Descoings boldly took on the French establishment. He built exchanges with American universities and lured foreign students to Paris. He recruited students from heavily immigrant suburbs. And he got the school to set up new research centers, such as an economics department. He did all this with a flexibility over recruitment that the French university establishment disliked. "It is very difficult to attract the best and maintain a center of excellence without this autonomy, " says another faculty member, fretful that it could now be compromised.
(6) The trouble is that in the conservative mind, the scandal of Sciences-Po’s mismanagement has undermined its credibility. The old elite may now have a stronger hand against the international-minded inheritors of Descoings. Ms. Fioraso wants a new director to be chosen by January. The caretaker who must find one happens to be a former ENA classmate of Mr. Hollande’s. (本文选自 The Economist)
Which of the following is INCORRECT according to Para. 1?
选项
A、Sciences-Po’s academic mismanagement has drawn national attention.
B、President Francois Hollande was a student of Sciences-Po.
C、Sciences-Po attracts excellent students and employees.
D、Richard Descoings is now the head of Sciences-Po.
答案
D
解析
细节题。由第一段最后一句可知,理查德.戴国安是巴黎政治学院的前院长,D项描述不符合文义,故选D。文章第一段第一句表明,小型机构教学管理不善的事件很少会引起全国性的关注,第二句中的But与第一句形成转折关系,提到巴黎政治学院不是普通的大学,由此推知,巴黎政治学院的教学管理不善已引起全国性的关注,故排除AIB“总统弗朗索瓦.奥朗德曾是巴黎政治学院的学生”和C“巴黎政治学院吸引着优秀的学生和员工”在第一段中均有提及,故排除。
