Lundi 16 novembre à midi, toute la communauté universitaire s’est retrouvée, rassemblée pour rendre hommage aux victimes d’une barbarie aveugle. Je voulais remercier toutes celles et ceux qui par leur présence sur nos campus ont témoigné de notre attachement indéfectible aux valeurs qui font l’Université.
Les assassins ont voulu frapper notre jeunesse et une manière de vivre, ils ont voulu nous diviser, créer un sentiment de panique, susciter la haine et dresser les communautés les unes contre les autres. Voir l'article...

By Rex Murphy. The most recent reports say there is a crisis in child services in the United States. The cost of daycare spaces has reached absolutely astronomic levels. Placement at the University of Missouri, for example, easily breaks the $40,000 threshold.

The big decision: Which university is for you?

By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The big decision: Which university is for you?
Ash Kelly, Globe, Mail, 2015/11/05

The Globe and Mail ranking universities is a bit like Donald Trump ranking cars: they've been in one once, but they don't really know how they work nor how well they perform on a day-to-day basis. But oh my, they have opinions. More...
