PrezBo Gets Press

By Bwog Staff on Jan 16, 2012 23 Comments

Affirmative action has been one of the most hotly debated topics in higher education since the 1960s, as well as one of PrezBo’s most hotly pursued passions. Before taking the reins as Columbia’s president, ‘Bo.0 served as president of the University of Michigan, where his defense of affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. […]

Overheard: Council on Teen Angst

By Bwog Staff on Jan 15, 2012 6 Comments

For high schoolers whose involvement with international affairs surpasses that of a game of Risk, Model UN is a glorious playground. Nevertheless, such a fulfilling extracurricular has its sacrifices—for example, remember how hard it was to balance the stress of being President of Pakistan with the stress of spending all week convincing your parents to […]

Department of Education Dismisses Fall “Steering” Complaint

By Bwog Staff on Jan 13, 2012 25 Comments

Recall last October’s allegation that the chair of Barnard’s Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Cultures, Rachel McDermott, “steered” a Jewish Barnard student away from taking one of Columbia Professor Joseph Massad‘s classes lest his reportedly pro-Palestinian slant make her “uncomfortable.” The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) began an investigation in […]

The Changing Face of Feniosky Peña-Mora

By Bwog Staff on Jan 13, 2012 9 Comments

It seems like just yesterday that PrezBo anointed Feniosky Peña-Mora dean of SEAS. Back in 2009, that halcyon year, Feni was talked up by ‘Bo, wore a doofy tee shirt, and hell, even sat down with OldBwog. These days are a little less rosy—the Times, which first profiled the guy in ’09, has of late […]

Overheard on Basic Cable

By Bwog Staff on Jan 12, 2012 53 Comments

House of Lies premiered last Sunday night, and nestled in between raunchy lesbian bathroom sex and unbridled elitism was this little gem of an exchange. You might think it sounds familiar, and you’d be right—the ‘ole “is Barnard part of Columbia?” debate has found its way onto a national stage. Skip ahead to 24:00. Bwog is […]

When Elections Get Hawkward

By Bwog Staff on Jan 12, 2012 0 Comments

Last night, Republican voters in New Hampshire cast their ballots for Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate to oppose Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election; a collective Democratic head-scratching session ensued. Meanwhile, a different crop of votes were cast a little farther down the coast. But these ones—meant to decide a name for the new hawk nesting in Washington […]

Overheard: Neither Hair Nor There

By Bwog Staff on Jan 10, 2012 7 Comments

As the first day of classes draws nearer and nearer, you should prepare yourself for classmates’ and professors’ accounts of how they spent their breaks (even if, like us, your only response is to admit you spent it in a raggedy Hanson tee-shirt, blogging). Tales of alleged “reading for fun” are sure to abound, amidst […]

A Break From Break

So, here’s your last-minute get up tomorrow morning for 9:30 am registration (or later if you live out in the periphery) reminder. Sophomores, this is a BFD. […]

Yesterday, we told you that the Anthropology Department’s recently-announced class on the Occupy Wall Street movement was on the ropes. We have now received what is more or less an official confirmation of the cancellation of the course, at least for the coming semester.

The Real World Exists

By Bwog Staff on Jan 05, 2012 17 Comments

Okay, that Real World exists too—but more importantly there’s that one plagued by tons of problems as well as a bunch of conceited head-cases on all sides of issues vying to be in charge of the whole mess. Maybe that describes both real worlds, come to think of it. Anyway, the 2012 election cycle took off […]
