Time to take a new look at the rules.

Monday’s SGA meeting was all about the upcoming curricular review: what it is and why it’s actually a really cool opportunity to put in your own two cents. As always, Barnard Bearoness Lauren Beltrone reports.

The curricular review is basically an open mic for you to let the administration know how you feel about everything curriculum-related at Barnard. Do you like the Nine Ways? Is the amount of major/concentration requirements for you too big, too small, or just right? Do you think Barnard should add a department? How does your thesis make you feel? If you aren’t yet compelled to contribute, remember that the curricular review only comes around every fifteen years. In fifteen years, your opinion on the lab requirement probably won’t be quite as nuanced as it is now, so go speak your mind. You only have until March or April until this round’s over. Here’s the Facebook event for the next open forum so you don’t miss it.

The other thing on Monday’s SGA agenda was also really relevant. Tomorrow from 4-6pm in 309 Havemeyer there will be a meeting to talk about rewriting the University’s Rules of Conduct. If you care about how the university deals with protests and free speech activity on campus (which you do), you should go to this discussion.
