Various issues concerning Concordia University are often reported on by news outlets. Here is the most recent coverage pertaining to the institution:
- Montreal philanthropists Claudine and Stephen Bronfman write an opinion piece that appears in both the Montreal Gazette and La Presse + about their motivation for funding the annual Claudine and Stephen Bronfman Fellowships in Contemporary Art. The fellowships, which they have funded since 2010, support the work of one graduate student from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia and one graduate student from the faculty of arts of Université du Québec à Montréal.
- La Presse + publishes a piece about western society moving toward gender-neutrality and mentions that Concordia has built gender-neutral washrooms and introduced the gender-neutral Latin term "Baccalaureate" as an alternative to "Bachelor". Gabrielle Bouchard of the Centre for Gender Advocacy is quoted.
