Une mesure censée lutter contre la prolifération de faux bulletins. Mais l’application de ce texte, longtemps resté lettre morte, provoque aujourd’hui de nombreuses difficultés. Certains étudiants se retrouvent empêtrés dans des situations invraisemblables et des démarches interminables. Un nouvel obstacle dont, disent-ils, ils se seraient bien passés.
