So I’m hoping that debate will continue to be engaged, and will be engaged with broader voices of the academics and of the students. Heather Munroe-Blum: I would say we’ve made some progress in the 10 years I’ve been in Quebec as a professor and as an academic administrator, in developing good public policy in higher education, but we still have a ways to go. McGill Tribune: After attending the PQ’s Higher Education Summit in February, what role do you think education will play in Quebec’s future? Munroe-Blum spoke about the role of education in Quebec, the nature of McGill’s measures to address the provincial government’s budget cuts, McGill’s drop in the world rankings this year, and what she learned in her time as principal. This June marks the end of her 10 year tenure as the first female principal of the university.

Last Wednesday, the Tribune sat down with Principal Heather Munroe-Blum for the last time to discuss her final year as principal of McGill, as well as what lies ahead for both her and the university.
