By Bwog Staff on Oct 17, 2009 6 Comments

Yes, Mark Hay can! This week the Senate Finance committee pushed out a neutered healthcare bill. And then thirty senators voted against a bill to block government contracts with companies that do not allow their employees to sue when raped by fellow employees.

No, It’s Not Another Redesign

By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 45 Comments

Visitors to the Spec‘s website might find the front page looking a little lacking in content. Rather than the first step in a makeover, tipsters tell us that there’s “some serious internal – and possibly legal – drama going down.” Spec editor-in-chief Melissa Repko declined comment on advice of lawyers, and online editor Ryan […]

By Bwog Staff on Oct 16, 2009 13 Comments

Two of Columbia’s major websites have just received extreme makeovers – the SEAS site, whose color scheme and photo-of-new-dean remind visitors of Columbia College, and the Student Affairs site (shown above), which reminds the administration of its promise to render the entire Morningside Campus in 2D. Major overhauls in PR are never taken lightly at Columbia, and […]
