French Parcoursup Admissions Algorithm Accused of Dodging Public-Algorithm Transparency Law

Loo_Atreides · x · 2026-10-12

The opening post of a French thread on Parcoursup: at 15 you make an irreversible choice, at 18 an unpublished algorithm decides your future, and the state offers no real remedy — 'that isn't a bug, it's the design.' Follow-up posts cite the 2018 ORE law, CRPA article L311-3-1, CADA opinions and court rulings to argue Parcoursup was legislatively exempted from public-algorithm transparency.
