The conviction that higher education should be more responsive to ‘the community ̊s whether regional or local, is under considerable discussion at the present time. This paper examines the changes introduced in the external and internal systems of governance in French universities as a result of the passing of the Higher Education Guideline Law of February 1984. Higher education planning in France is highly centralised, a fact that often appears contradictory to the basic objectives of the Law which, inter alia, seeks to strengthen the ‘local responsiveness ̊s of French universities. After offering a brief description of the structures of French higher education, this paper examines the role and significance of the newly established bodies of governance. It concludes that continuing effective central control does not appear incompatible with developing a strategy of greater local involvement on the part of higher education in France
