There had been backstage discussions for a few weeks, but the announcement came just yesterday, and it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke: a change of guard at the Nice Academy.
Richard Laganier has been appointed rector of the Nice Academy, chancellor of the universities in the Council of Ministers this Monday.
He succeeds Emmanuel Ethis, who has been appointed to Rennes and leaves fond memories of his almost four years spent in the azure capital.
A doctor in geography and former president of the universities of Guyana and Toulouse, currently a ministerial advisor, this northern native will be able to use his skills to navigate and untangle in a region where the cardinal points are often… mobile!
