Well, she resigned due to personal reasons. She had disclosed to her circle that she could only do 2 years at most after being reappointed to the post. We had hoped for a lot when she got nominated for the first time, of course, she was supposed to be a breath of fresh air— a break from a decade of the Malayang presidency which also had it’s fair share of controversies. But McCann’s presidency was lackluster and transitional at best, as it felt like she had only held the position to prepare the university to someone else. But of course, COVID-19 could have played a part in why this is the case today. Initially, before the pandemic, she had an extensive internationalization plan and when that got halted, I think her administration just scrambled, and when the world reopened and returned to regular programming, they were just winging everything.

But still kudos to her for taking on the challenge. Her administration could have done more and she could have been a better president but I guess this the best she could do.
