Some people wrote that the Ecole Supérieure Robert de Sorbon is not a "University but an Association". It demonstrates a total lack of knowledge of the French Laws.
In France a University is either:
1) A public entity, but they have a tendency now for outside funding to go with the "Association" status.
or
2) A private for profit company (S.A. or SARL), (number limited)
or
3) An association (Loi de 1901/1901 Law), which is always not for profit. Status taken by most of the private institutions operating in France.
As an exemple, the American University of Paris states on its home page:
The American University of Paris. All rights reserved.
"Etablissement privé d'enseignement supérieur libre. Association régie par la loi du 1er juillet 1901."
The American University of Paris and the Ecole Supérieure Robert de Sorbon are both an" Association and Private Institution of Higher education (translation in French: établissement privé d'enseignement supérieur)
