On behalf of Concordia University, I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to all our American students, faculty and staff, and our condolences to all members of the Concordia community whose families or friends have been directly affected by the New York and Washington terrorist attacks.

We join the outcry against terrorism and fanaticism, and we share the disgust felt by people throughout the world at this indiscriminate spilling of blood.

It is especially important at this time of uncertainty that we discuss these issues calmly and rationally, and treat all our fellow Concordians with respect.

Concordia University will continue to function normally with all educational activities proceeding as planned.

Frederick Lowy,
Rector and Vice-Chancellor
