Faculty of Law of Paris
1970: Dissolution
### 1970: Dissolution

Following the [events of May 1968](/wiki/May_1968_events "May 1968 events"), the faculties of the University of Paris became independent universities*Décret no 70\-928 du 8 octobre 1970*.

Most law professors (88 out of 108\) decided to perpetuate the faculty of law and economics within the same two buildings (Panthéon and Assas). Therefore, they created the "University of Law, Economics and social sciences of Paris" (*Université de droit, d'économie et de sciences sociales de Paris*), administratively shortened as Paris II, and currently named [Panthéon\-Assas University](/wiki/Paris-Panth%C3%A9on-Assas_University "Paris-Panthéon-Assas University"), which is therefore considered as its direct inheritor. Panthéon\-Assas inherited the teaching programs and research centers from the Faculty of Law. Some joined interdisciplinary universities in Paris, like [Panthéon\-Sorbonne University](/wiki/Panth%C3%A9on-Sorbonne_University "Panthéon-Sorbonne University"), [Paris Descartes University](/wiki/Paris_Descartes_University "Paris Descartes University"), [Paris\-East Créteil University](/wiki/Paris-East_Cr%C3%A9teil_University "Paris-East Créteil University") (these names were formed later), or outside [Paris](/wiki/Paris "Paris").

Likewise, most of its professors in economics (35 out of 41\) preferred to join the multidisciplinary university, Paris I, later called [Panthéon\-Sorbonne University](/wiki/Pantheon-Sorbonne_University "Pantheon-Sorbonne University") while others joined [Panthéon\-Assas University](/wiki/Paris-Panth%C3%A9on-Assas_University "Paris-Panthéon-Assas University"), [Paris Dauphine University](/wiki/Paris_Dauphine_University "Paris Dauphine University"), [Paris Descartes University](/wiki/Paris_Descartes_University "Paris Descartes University") (currently [Paris Cité University](/wiki/Paris_Cit%C3%A9_University "Paris Cité University")) and [Paris\-East Créteil University](/wiki/Paris-East_Cr%C3%A9teil_University "Paris-East Créteil University").


Why did some professors choose to join different universities?
