Abstract	Empirical research of the C.S.O. (Centre de Sociologie des Organisations) on higher education in the eighties showed that the capacity of French universities for collective decision was very weak. Since that time, legislators have attempted to reinforce universities autonomy by creating executive boards whose capacity for constructing university policies is now indisputable. The analysis focuses on the following issue: what are the consequences of the strengthening of central management on the balance of powers between executive boards, faculties, and democratic elected assemblies? The first part of this paper draws a brief overview of French university government in the seventies and eighties to point out the main changes that occurred since that time. The second part deals with the present situation: 1) the place and role of deliberative bodies in the universities' government; there is made up a distinction between bottom-up decision processes and top-down decision processes: 2) the position of the deans in these government structures: 3) the combination of the three fundamental elements of universities' government (executive board, deliberative bodies and deans).
