Résumé anglais Louis Lévy-Garboua : Student Demands or the Contradictions of a Mass University. This article interprets the appearance of the mass university and aspects of the phenomenon which affected student conditions and behavior. Taking as its basis a precise analysis of student demands, it goes beyond the traditional economic interpretation of the demand for education, which is founded on the profitability of studies, and adds thereto some sociological considerations about the eligibility for student status and for high social positions. This theory brings to light the mass university's contradictions which actors tend to resolve individually or collectivity. We show that students' individual adaptations to the deterioration that they observe in the labor market have dominated other events in the last few years. These adaptations lead to the decline of the institution which tends to transform itself from a place for apprenticeship into a pure means for selection. The chances of collective action are also examined.
