Why it's a critical moment to rebuild public trust in Canada's research universities

Daniel Jutras, the recteur of the Université de Montreal and new chair of the U15 group of Canadian research universities, discusses the overlapping paradigm shifts facing universities today: geopolitical upheaval, the AI revolution, and questions about public trust in higher education. Jutras offers a thoughtful defence of what he calls "institutional restraint" rather than neutrality, explains why epistemic humility should be every academic's core posture, and makes the case for why Canada's research universities remain essential to our national sovereignty and prosperity.
