We are undertaking this legal action because we believe that these measures are illegal and if upheld, will threaten McGill’s mission, its place as one of the world’s top universities and its vital role in Quebec.
Over 200 years, McGill has risen to meet whatever challenges it faces. At the core of our success has been the talent we attract – from across Quebec, Canada and the world. This award is designed to do just that.

Bienvenue à Deep Saini (
@mcgillprincipal
) dans son rôle de 18e principal et vice-chancelier de l’Université McGill.
L’Université McGill s’adresse à la justice, parce que nous croyons que ces mesures sont illégales et qu’advenant leur mise en place, elles mettront en péril sa mission, son rôle essentiel au Québec et sa place parmi les meilleurs établissements d’enseignement supérieur du monde.
It is an honour to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors of Universities Canada and to help advance the priorities of higher education nationwide. Thank you for this opportunity!
Congratulations to Deep Saini,
@McGillPrincipal
, for being installed as chair of Universities Canada's board of directors.
Dr. Saini's international and Canadian post-secondary experience, including leadership roles at research-intensive universities, will help to advance higher…
Depuis 200 ans, McGill a toujours relevé avec brio les défis qui se sont présentés à elle. Les grands esprits désireux d’étudier chez nous – en provenance du Québec, du Canada et du monde entier – sont au cœur même de notre réussite. Cette bourse vise précisément à les attirer.
So delighted to see our

Nous recommandons au gouvernement du Québec de reporter toute décision le temps d’étudier en profondeur la question des droits de scolarité. L'économie et la prospérité du Québec dépendent de la contribution unique de chaque université, qu'elle soit francophone ou anglophone.
Congratulations Pierre, and welcome to
