Sell the team!” at the end in a loud statement to owner Tom Gores and his Platinum Equity firm. Detroit will be back in action Saturday night in Brooklyn.“We’re not 2-26 bad — no way are we that bad,” said Cade Cunningham, who led Detroit with ...

Queen’s falls from top 15 research universities ranking

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:19:05 GMT

A recent ranking of the top Canadian research universities saw Queen’s University fall from the top 15. The ranking pulls data from 2022, and is based on the overall sponsored research income of an institution – coming from grants, contracts or contributions from any external source. Given the university closes for the holidays as of Friday, a spokesperson said they would be unable to comment in time for publication.

Justyna Scezwyck-El Jassem, a history student and the president of PSAC 901, said she thinks the university putting too much on the plates of grad student workers is contributing to a decline in research income and quality.She says for grad student workers, both research and teaching assistant (TA) work is suffering due to the university spre...
