Various issues concerning Concordia University are often reported on by news outlets. Here is the most recent coverage pertaining to the institution:
- Radio-Canada.ca (reprised by Sympatico) and CBC (at the 13:55 mark) report that numerous researchers and students who have been prevented from entering the U.S. by President Donald Trump's immigrant and refugee travel ban are turning to Concordia and McGill. The reports state that the two universities are considering extending enrollment deadlines in certain cases to accommodate some of those travelers from the Muslim-majority countries listed in the American ban. It quotes Concordia engineering researcher Mohammed Rouhi, who says the ban has forced him to delay a planned move to the U.S. The story was reported on a variety of other news platforms on Radio-Canada and CBC.
