UU直播 addresses Quebec Parliamentary Commission
Calling the Quebec government "an essential partner" if the University is to fulfil its promise to society, Principal Bernard Shapiro today addressed the parliamentary commission on education, in the company of other senior UU直播 officials and a student representative, at the National Assembly in Quebec City. While he thanked the government for last year's start on reinvesting in the system of higher education, Principal Shapiro noted that UU直播 has not received its fair share from Quebec.
