Joe Oliver: Having silenced critics, university admins think they can do no wrong
Article content There is no suggestion that it might actually be a problem, which is remarkable given the widely known facts, which were extensively outlined in Harvard's 311-page report from its 'Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias.' Article content The presidents of McGill and Concordia in Montreal both acknowledged that antisemitism is a ' significant problem ' at their universities. A class-action lawsuit has been launched against McGill for creating an antisemitic environment. The University of Toronto has been accused of having 'a long and sordid history of failing to protect Jewish learners, faculty and staff.' Article content As a grateful alumnus of McGill and Harvard, I take no pleasure in identifying their failings, but I'm struck by how different the environment was when I attended classes in the 1950s and '60s. Back then, there was tolerance for diverse views, and it was unthinkable that students would be threatened or demonized based on their religion, ethnicity, race or country of origin. Of course, most students are not harassed now, but Israelis and Jews appear to be the exception. Article content Administrators and faculty at Harvard (and other universities) have trouble accepting how they are perceived by the public: elitist, privileged, subsidized by taxpayers, charging high tuition, bloated by administrative staff, captured by DEI and other racially discriminatory admissions and hiring policies, and frequently advocating ideas that defy common sense. Operating in a groupthink bubble can lead to responses that underestimate and devalue criticism. Article content The indoctrination of a woke mindset has implications beyond pampered university campuses. The division of society into the oppressed, who are perpetually victims, and oppressors, who are settler-colonizers and always the guilty party in any conflict, churns out students who loath western history and civilization and have contributed to the worst outbreak of global antisemitism since the defeat of Nazism 80 years ago.

Concordia Shanghai Breaks Ground on Visionary New Rittmann Center
State-of-the-art facility will transform student life through the arts, athletics, and wellness. SHANGHAI, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ — Concordia International School Shanghai is set to break ground on a major redevelopment of the Rittmann Center, expanding the iconic facility into a modern, 13,710-square-meter multi-purpose hub designed to support student excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, and wellness. Named after former Head of School Dr. David Rittmann, the Rittmann Center was first completed in December 2007, with a purpose to enhance the school's creative arts education. More than five times the size of the current building, the new Rittmann Center marks one of the largest facility investments in the school's history. Designed to serve students across all divisions, it embodies Concordia's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and holistic education. The new center will house: An eight-lane, 25-meter competition pool with spectator seating for 240 A professional-grade theater with seating for over 500—a major upgrade from the current 330 Purpose-built music classrooms for band, choir, and strings Six dedicated practice rooms, three ensemble rooms, and a 170m² drama studio Four expansive art studios filled with natural light and designed for creative exploration Two underground floors and four above ground, maximizing space while maintaining a compact campus footprint A green roof and infrastructure built to meet LEED II certification standards, continuing the school's focus on sustainability Architects from Ennead have worked closely with the school to shape a building that's not only functional but inspiring, incorporating advanced acoustic treatments, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and student-centered design principles to support 21st-century learning and performance. 'The Rittmann Center has long been a space where students shine,' said Dr. Eric Semler, Head of School. 'This new facility will take that to the next level—empowering students to explore their passions, build confidence, and thrive in a community that celebrates their talents.' Construction will begin after the end of the 2024–25 school year and is expected to be completed by July 2027. To minimize disruption to learning, the school has implemented: Phased construction scheduling tied to school breaks Sound barriers, vibration dampeners, and dust suppression systems Dedicated traffic flow systems to avoid student movement areas 'This is more than a building project – it's an investment in our students' future. It's about creating an environment where future generations can learn, perform, and grow,' added Dr. Semler. About Concordia International School Shanghai Founded in 1998, Concordia International School Shanghai is a co-educational day school that offers a comprehensive American-style education to students from Preschool through High School.
