The Globe and Mail: University leaders tout institutions’ role in addressing Canada’s challenges

Canada’s university leaders say that despite facing significant financial and political headwinds they’re confident that their institutions will play a key role in tackling the challenges facing the country in the years ahead. Dr. Michael Benarroch, President of the University of Manitoba, said that even if the public perception of universities has grown more skeptical, there has been no impact on enrolment. Most families still see a university education as the best path for their children to achieve what they want in life, he said.
