Paul breaks down some of the major challenges facing higher education in Canada, including a lack of political will to invest in the sector.    He is then joined by a panel of insiders for their takes on what to do about it. How are they handling this moment? What does the future look like? And how can universities make the case for their relevance in a changing world?   The panelists are:
  • Graham Carr, President and Vice-Chancellor of Concordia University
  • Maud Cohen, President of Polytechnique Montréal
  • Christopher Manfredi, Provost and Executive Vice-President (Academic) at McGill University
Season 3 of The Paul Wells Show is sponsored by McGill University’s Max Bell School of Public Policy.
