Various issues concerning Concordia University are often reported on by news outlets. Here is the most recent coverage pertaining to the institution:
- Concordia spokesperson Chris Mota is quoted in a piece in the Montreal Gazette about an anti-tobacco push by the Student Society of McGill University, hoping to make the university's downtown campus completely smoke-free. Mota tells the Gazette reporter that regulating outdoor smoking on an urban campus like Concordia's SGW is complicated by the close proximity of municipal property, where smoking is allowed.
- The Canadian Press posts a previously-published story about the rejection by the University of Toronto of a call to drop its fossil fuel holdings. Concordia's decision, announced in December, 2014, to launch a $5-million sustainable investment fund is referenced.
