University is expensive, especially if you're not a born Quebecer. But to the average student, where all that money goes might seem like a mystery known only to the bureaucracy inside each institution. Some of it funnels straight into the coffers of the highest-level administrators, including (but certainly not limited to) principals, rectors and chancellors.
In Quebec, all universities are required to submit annual financial reports, including senior management salaries, to the Minister of Higher Education. The government published McGill's report in early February, revealing high admin pays and making us wonder if it's too late to change careers and become a scholar.
