From Liège to Gembloux and Arlon: a multi-city university
A multi-city university: Liège, Gembloux, and Arlon
T
he legislation of 1971 adjusts the university to its time, which is the result of the student protests of 1968-1969. Democratisation, participation, and openness characterise this period: the Board of Directors opens itself up to student representatives, scientific and technical personnel, and to outside circles.
In the context of the implementation of federalism, the University reports to the French Community of Belgium (the "Wallonia-Brussels Federation") starting on 1 January 1989. Its official title thus becomes the "University of Liège" instead of the "State University in Liège".
A public university of the French Community, the University of Liège will grow rapidly, becoming the most complete university in Wallonia, and a multi-site and multi-city university as a result of several integrations:
