Various issues concerning Concordia University are often reported on by news outlets. Here is the most recent coverage pertaining to the institution:
- Foreign Affairs (New Zealand) lists Concordia among the universities that participated in last week's Workshop on Disaster Risk Management in Business Education, in Toronto. The workshop could yield new academic programs on the impact on businesses of natural and other disasters.
- After having erroneously reported that Concordia, among other universities, had rejected oil divestment, The Globe and Mail in its online version corrects the information in a new story on University of Toronto opposition to divestment: without referring to its earlier error, it states that Concordia has created a fund to invest in companies engaged in environmentally-sustainable activities. GlobalNews.ca and Yorkton This Week pick up aCanadian Press news brief about the U of T rejection of the divestment option in which the Concordia divestment fund is mentioned.
