Montreal Reimagined. Equitable gender hiring. Sex assault policy. Fossil fuel divestment.

Various issues concerning Concordia University are often reported on by news outlets. Here is the most recent coverage pertaining to the institution: 

• A Noodls release announces that last year's "Montreal Reimagined" series of Montreal Gazettearticles, produced on behalf of Concordia in partnership with the newspaper, is among the finalists for anaward at the International Newsmedia Marketing Association (INMA). The 'Reimagined' series showcased Concordia professors whose research is impacting Montreal and its citizens.
• Radio-Canada reports that Quebec's public sector continues to fall short of gender equity targets set out in Quebec's law on equal access to employment. It ranks Quebec universities according to the proportion of women among their employees. UQAM has the lowest proportion, and would need to hire 31 percent more women to meet the equity targets in the law. Concordia has the second-best record in a field of 12 universities, but would still need to hire ten percent more women. The article is reprised by Huffington Post Québec.
• The Montreal Gazette, reporting on efforts to institute a new sexual assault policy at McGill University, mentions that Concordia is preparing a new policy of its own. It quotes Concordia spokesperson Chris Mota saying that the university's new sexual assault policy could be ready as early as this spring.
• The establishment by Concordia of a fossil fuel divestment fund, in December 2014, is mentioned in an article in the Winnipeg Free Press about a drive for a full divestment at the University of Winnipeg.
