DCU accused of being greedy over new charges imposed on students who want to live in on-campus housing One of the country’s leading universities has been accused of “greed” after it started charging students to apply for on-campus accommodation. Dublin City University (DCU) imposed the €50 non-refundable fee on students to enter a lottery-type system used to allocate places in its oversubscribed housing. Anti-Bullying Centre’s donations included €1.3m from Facebook parent company Meta and €1m from Vodafone Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and former DCU president Professor Brian MacCraith A research centre at DCU whose work shows smartphone bans have little or no effect on student well-being has previously received €2.4m from social media and tech companies.

The DCU Anti-Bullying Centre (ABC) is known globally for its expertise in online safety and tackling bullying. Marama Labs, a startup which develops advanced analytical instruments to solve critical challenges in life sciences, officially opened its Irish Life Sciences Applications Lab at DCU Alpha in Dublin this week. An academic has claimed Dublin City University broke its own jobs policy and discriminated against her by keeping her "in the dark" about a permanent job that was advertised while she was out on... Dublin City University has said academic staff at the college have been subjected to targeted attacks as a result of a video released on social media which made false claims about a new curriculum... A new virtual reality training environment has been launched by Dublin City University (DCU). Dublin City University has reached an "agreement" in a discrimination claim by a senior manager whose lawyers accused college authorities of "corporate gaslighting" about a restructuring plan.

Conor Dolan bagged a brace of goals at St Clare’s on Tuesday night as DCU progressed to the quarter-final stage of the Sigerson Cup with a convincing victory over ATU Sligo. Following an initially cagey start to the game, DCU created daylight between the teams with unanswered points from Tom Prior and Sligo native Luke Marren. ATU subsequently got up and running with a fine score from play by James Donlon on 12 minutes, before DCU reinforced their authority with consecutive white flag efforts courtesy of Ciaran Caulfield, Ethan Dunne... Additional points from Marren, Eoghan O’Connor Flanagan and Conor Heffernan were preceded by a fortuitous 19th minute goal from Dolan, but even though ATU finally responded through Jack Lavin, Dublin footballer Greg McEnaney split... While Emmanuel Sehu found the range for ATU Sligo in the opening minute of the second half, Marren knocked over his third free of the action to restore DCU’s 10-point cushion. Their Connacht opponents continued to battle as the tie wore on, however, and a second score from Sehu complimented a 0-2 salvo from centre-forward Matthew Carey during a third-quarter purple patch for the visitors.

Yet DCU remained very much in control of their own destiny and finished this knockout encounter with a flourish. After Dolan claimed his second goal of the evening with a clinical strike from close-range, Marren’s fellow Sligo man Eoghan Smith also found the net in stoppage-time to ensure DCU eased into the last...

Queens have been knocked out of the competition, whilst St Mary’s will have a playoff game to see if they progress Beth Keeley, this year's Philadelphia Rose, is a former student of Journalism and Communications at Dublin City University. Beth took part in a CIEE study abroad programme in 2006, and is now working as a web content coordinator in the US. Read Beth's description of her time at DCU: While I was at Temple University in Philly, I decided that I wanted to spend a semester in Ireland. I always wanted to visit Ireland - I had never been and nearly all of my ancestors are from Ireland (Up Donegal and Mayo!). DCU came as the most recommended school in Ireland for international students to attend.

DCU had a reputation of working well with international students and all of the credits and classes would transfer well back to my school in Philadelphia. DCU was also connected with CIEE, a study abroad program that I felt would really help me adjust at DCU. I signed up to attend DCU during the fall of 2006 and elected to live in the student dormitories (we were given the option of living with host families). I lived in the dorms behind the Hub. I was enrolled as a Journalism/Communications student at DCU. Also, as a CIEE participant, I had Irish culture and history lessons, as well as school field trips to Galway, Belfast and the Aran Islands.

I loved the classes I took at DCU - In fact, I still have all of the essays I wrote while at DCU saved on my computer! In my free time, I travelled to Cork, Drogheda and Donegal, as well as Scotland. The four months I spent as a student at DCU in Ireland were the most memorable of my life. In the dormitories, I lived with two other Irish students, a German student and a Spanish student. Such culture! They introduced me to things such as Podge and Rodge, Father Ted and shrimp flavoured crisps.

Forgetting, perhaps, that the guards she was encouraging people to attack were likely Irish too.
