Sciences Po's diversification policies are the subject of many polemics as they have challenged the traditional process of entrance into the grandes ecoles, elite higher education institutions in France such as Sciences Po.
Sciences Po is justifying the tuition increase to the students by saying that the school will provide much better services for the students, better libraries, more computers and the school intends to buy rooms at the Cite Universite, in the 14th arrondissement, which provides relatively cheap housing for students.
Sciences Po, in its own way, is also countering the critiques thrown at its illustrious reputation for forming political and business elites in attempts to save its legitimacy in an environment where the nation is not only attacking the establishment, but the institutions that form it as well.

 Use of Sciences Po - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sciences Po is a french abbreviation of sciences politiques, or political science, which is a division of the social sciences.
In 1945 General Charles de Gaulle transformed the study of political science in France by creating a system of schools modelled after the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques, which was founded as a private school and trained many of the European political and diplomatic elite.
The only IEP to retain the epithet Sciences Po is the National Foundation of Political Science (France) (French: Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques) and the school which it manages, the Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris (English: Paris Institute of Political Studies) because they are the direct descendants of the École Libre des Sciences Politiques.
