I’m so sick and tired of Barnard riding Columbia’s coattails for name recognition and prestige, but then treating CU students like rapists when trying to get into dorms

I’m fed up with Barnard calling themselves “empowered women” or some shit, then turning around and mooching off Columbia. Fuck that.

Barnard, you’ve got two options. Total assimilation (a la Radcliffe at Harvard) or total disconnection. Women always want to have their cake and eat it too — but this is getting ridiculous.

I used to be on SGA, so we figured out how much clubs should receive. Basically – the student activities fee on your bill from Barnard each semester is given to SGA, then SGA doles out that money to clubs for operating expenses, events, etc. Nothing at all to do with the endowment. If you want to complain about the “stupid” events (I disagree, I think they’re fun, but that’s not the issue) – complain to SGA about how they allocate your money. Or complain to the school about having to pay such a large student activity fee each semester at all. that is all

i tried donating $10 on the website… turns out they have a minimum of $20 for online gifts! so they lost my donation.

no one ever bitches when there’s news about tc on here- and guess what? it’s also an “affiliated institution” like barnard. except barnard is also sometimes called an undergraduate college at cu, and we’re more involved in campus life than tc students. so shut the fuck up, quit bitching, and grow a pair.

We take your classes. You take ours. We give (some of) you bjs.

We’re part of campus life- get over it.

My response to that is, “Bitch, make me a sandwich.”

trust me those events cost more than you think; i have a friend who works for cao and she has said before that the amount of money and manpower spent on those events is a lot more than you’d think. i’m not saying barnard should be a ‘no fun zone’ but i question if those events really do bring fun to the campus. i fell like they’re just bring a sense of tradition but aren’t so amazing that students would miss them if they were gone. idk, it just seems to me that barnard spends money on a lot of “inane” things as post 10 said.

if we didnt have all these big events then we would hear that we have no community on campus…

if barnard didn’t give them money to do those inane events (i also go to barnard) then we would have more money. although i personally doubt that barnard gives CAO that much money. or even enough to be worth arguing about.

out of the student activities budget. they do their own fundraising in addition to what Barnard gives them.

but clearly all of the CAO affairs cost $50 million dollars.

ass.
