Brock University and Concordia University both recently announced shifts in their programming. Brock’s Department of Communications, Popular Culture and Film has submitted a Request for Program Discontinuation to cut the Bachelor of Arts in Popular Culture. Brock is currently seeking feedback from the community prior to proceeding to the next steps with the Institutional Quality Assurance Processes. In Québec, Concordia has concluded the operations of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS). In an online statement, Concordia explained that the closure is due to “budgetary constraints” and expressed its “sincere gratitude to gratitude to all faculty, staff, students and partners who dedicated themselves to advancing MIGS’ mission over the years.”
