Five for Friday

We are pleased to introduce a new occasional column on Ϲ Monitor this week. "Five for Friday" is a collection of some of the more eye-catching and varied items that we've been reading of late and we present them here for your end-of-week reading pleasure."Language schools and social media"

"" Things have gone badly wrong between the University of Windsor and its previous recruitment partner, Higher-Edge. The latter is now suing the university for CDN $24.1 million.

Their research especially looks at situations where one ranking model dominates, as opposed to areas of study for which multiple ranking schemes are commonly used.
