At the end of a positive vote by the Board of Directors of USPC on a notice by the Council of members taken by a qualified two-thirds majority, a new negative vote of the deliberative proceeding of a member constitutes an application for the withdrawal of the community. The board of directors of Sorbonne Paris Cité deliberates on the terms and conditions of the member's withdrawal at the first session following this request.
After changing the contractual commitments made within the framework of the COMEU, which concerns the member withdrawing, the withdrawal is effective on the date of publication of the amended Statutes Decree.
