Questionable pricing practices. C-Series taking off. The Irish Rising. Art hives.

Concordia faculty and researchers are regularly asked to offer expert, informed opinions on many of today's most pressing problems. Read some of the latest news items about Concordians:

• Lea Prevel Katsanis, professor in the Department of Marketing, is quoted in an article in the Financial Post about the appearance of outgoing Valeant Pharmaceuticals CEO Michael Pearson at a U.S. Senate special committee on drug price increases.  Katsanis says that while Pearson should be given credit for apologizing for the company's controversial drug pricing practices, Valeant still has a ways to go to prove that it has the interests of patients at heart. The article is reprised by the Montreal Gazette and 24news.ca and the quote of Katsanis appears in articles in the New York Stock Exchange Post, State of the State Ks and  You Don't Know Football.
• Isabelle Dostaler, management professor in the John Molson School of Business, was interviewed this morning on the Radio Canada Première Chaîne program 'Gravel le Matin' and on Radio Canada's morning program in Quebec City (no links available).
