According to what has been published the French newspaper Le Figaro, The University of Strasbourg paid the student's legal costs. who sued CNRS researcher Florence Bergeaud-Blackler for defamation. The French anthropologist specialising in the study of the Muslim Brothers said on X that “The ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood has gradually taken root in universities over the last thirty years.s”. He also denounced what he considers an “Islamisation of knowledge” within the academic sphere.

The student who filed the complaint is a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Strasbourg and works on public policies for preventing radicalisation. In her work, criticises that French institutions interpret intense Muslim religiosity as a sign of radicalisation. This critical view of French policies on radicalisation is what Bergeaud-Blackler interpreted as an example of the ’Islamisation of knowledge“ within the university and He related it to the activity of the Muslim Brotherhood on the campuses. According to the anthropologist, the student's doctoral thesis It is part of an academic trend that shifts the debate away from Islamism towards suspicion of the French State..

The role of the University of Strasbourg is laid bare.

The Strasbourg court has just declared the complaint invalid because it did not specifically cite the passages considered offensive. Florence Bergeaud-Blackler has been acquitted, but the focus now is on the role of the University of Strasbourg.

According to Le Figaro, lThe university covered the legal fees of the student who had filed the complaint., even though she had no automatic right to legal protection because she was not a civil servant. The same newspaper states that the president of the University of Strasbourg, Frédérique Berrod, He expressed the institution's support for the student in a letter. and transferred Bergeaud-Blackler's writings to the CNRS. The case raises the question of why a public university funded legal action against an anthropologist who was investigating the influence of the Muslim Brothers in the academic sphere.
