In accordance with the regulatory documents of ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳, the board of directors of ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳ and PSL Foundation have elected economist El Mouhoub Mouhoud, President of Dauphine - PSL, as interim President. This election follows the resignation of Alain Fuchs, President of ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳ since October 2017, announced on Wednesday June 26, 2024. El Mouhoub Mouhoud had been unanimously proposed by the executive board with no abstentions to the university's board of directors and by the foundation's board. His mandate takes effect immediately after the election.

The interim President will combine his duties with those of Dauphine - PSL, which he has chaired for almost four years. "It is important to me that ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳ continues to carry out its missions serenely during this phase leading up to the election of a new President, in accordance with its statutes," says El Mouhoub Mouhoud. During this transition period, a collegial governance structure will be put in place. In addition to the Executive Board and the Comex, it will be supported by the PSL Board and regular meetings with all school heads, including of course those of the schools in the process of integration. "I also know that I can count on the exemplary commitment and professionalism of PSL's head office teams during this transitional period. As interim president of ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳ and its Foundation, my priorities, shared with my colleagues, will be to finalize the integration of the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs and the École nationale supérieure d'architecture Paris-Malaquais." The construction of major research programs will continue, as will the priority projects underway. "I will also be responsible for guaranteeing the continuity of the university's services and missions, ensuring the start of PSL courses and the monitoring and assessment of programs (Excellences, SFRI), particularly graduate programs, strengthen relations with organizations, ensure the smooth operation of PSL's internationalization partnerships, and guarantee the implementation and smooth operation of the Search Committee for the recruitment of a ²ÝÁñÂÛ̳ President.
