	McGill appoints francophone principal Posted By: Canadian Press · 3/5/2013 3:13:00 PM McGill University, Montreal's pre-eminent anglophone institution, will have a francophone principal for the first time in its history. Suzanne Fortier will take the helm of the 192-year-old institution. The university announced today that the scientist, teacher, and McGill alumnus will succeed Heather Munroe-Blum, starting in September. Fortier is currently president of a federal government granting agency, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. "I am proud to be invited to serve as the next Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill,'' Fortier said in a statement. "Principal Munroe-Blum blazed a trail as McGill's first female Principal and as an exceptional leader, and it will be an honour to follow in her footsteps. McGill opened up a world of opportunities for me, and I look forward to working closely with the McGill community upon my arrival.''

Katherine posted on 03/05/2013 04:15 PM Even McGill bowed down to the French powers. What a shame. WHAT A SHAME. Am I to understand that there were NO English individuals qualified to replace Ms. Munroe-Blum? I have lost all respect for the 192 year institution. Wait and see how quickly Mme. Fortier will change her tune from addressing in English to FRENCH. I am shocked and a little offended.
