École Polytechnique slammed for five years of losses

Management at elite engineering school ‘X’ does not match its reputation, court finds

France’s Court of Auditors has published a scathing analysis of the financial performance of the country’s top engineering school, the École Polytechnique. 

The school is in a “worrying financial situation", having endured five consecutive loss-making years since 2014, and has “shortcomings” in its management, it said.
