Their aim is to institutionalize Islamic practices on secular campuses, and they are joining forces with leftist groups to make it possible.<\/p>\n<p>The intelligence alert was issued after an influential Islamic student union associated with the Muslim Brotherhood won a large number of seats on the board of directors of the National Center for University and School Services (<i>Centre national des \u0153uvres universitaires et scolaires, CNOUS<\/i>), the most important student representation body in France.<\/p>\n<p>In elections on April 2, representatives from the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Muslim Students of France (<i>\u00c9tudiants Musulmans de France, EMF<\/i>) merged candidate lists with two far-left student unions\u2014the Student Union (<i>L\u2019Union \u00c9tudiante<\/i>) and the Student Union Federation (<i>F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Syndicale \u00c9tudiante, FSE<\/i>)\u2014and won three out of eight seats on the board of directors of CNOUS, which manages most aspects of student life, including university housing, dining, and scholarships.
