In a recent interview with Radio-Canada, Université de Montréal recteur Daniel Jutras discusses the issues and opportunities facing universities in Québec. Jutras touches on issues such as inconsistent and sometimes opposing messaging from the federal and provincial governments about international talent, the financial constraints, and the need for a move away from “ivory tower” culture. He emphasizes the need for universities to reexamine their relationship with Québecers and asserts that institutions need to better explain their purpose and impact on different aspects of society. He further expresses his hope that QC and the federal government will rectify their inconsistencies on the front of international talent.
