Common sense? The dangers of asbestos were well known in 1997 (hence its removal!), it's a developed nation that enforces protective measures for workers, etc.

Losing 22 workers in France in the 1990s/2000s on a single asbestos removal project is extremely unlikely.

...and losing 22 students due to asbestos in a single building isn't unlikely, according to your common sense?

Since 1959 in an entire campus, not one building. There'd be many, many more students passing through over five decades than there would be construction workers in a 10 year cleanup effort.
