Roméo Dallaire disappointed by Concordia University’s decision to shutter genocide think tank

Concordia University has closed a think tank on genocide and human rights amid a budget crisis, much to the dismay of supporters such as former senator and retired general Roméo Dallaire.The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights was shuttered in early November, owing to what the university said was a need to reduce its budget deficit. Concordia has been hit hard by recent federal policy changes regarding international students and the Quebec government’s decision to hike tuition fees at Montreal’s English-language universities.
