Cantal School Director Dies by Suicide on First Day of Term After Homophobic Harassment

A health‑and‑safety review is being initiated by the rector following union calls for an administrative inquiry.

C'est au sein du village de Moussages, connu par les randonneurs des volcans d'Auvergne que Caroline Granjean a été victime d'insultes homophobes à répétition.

Plusieurs inscriptions comme «sale gouine», avaient été retrouvées dans l’établissement à partir de 2023.

Overview

  • The 42-year-old was found below a cliff near Anglards-de-Salers after an estimated 30‑metre fall on September 1, the day schools reopened.
  • She had contacted the national suicide‑prevention line and attempted to call emergency services minutes before her death, according to the gendarmerie.
  • Since 2023 she had reported repeated homophobic insults and threats at the Moussages school; five complaints and a 2024 judicial inquiry did not identify a perpetrator and were later closed.
  • She had been on intermittent medical leave with occupational‑health follow‑up, and she declined proposed temporary reassignment that officials described as protective.
  • The Education Ministry activated a listening cell on September 2 and the rector will refer the case to the departmental health‑and‑safety body, while teacher unions demand an administrative inquiry.
