A group of Columbia and Barnard alumni have formed a new committee to boycott the University’s scheduled May 31 and June 1 reunions. The group will create an alternate event and send funds from ticket sales and donations to organizations providing aid in Palestine.
On Friday morning, the University Senate held a special plenary in light of the week’s events, where they discussed launching an investigative task force into administration, a potential vote of no confidence against Columbia President Minouche Shafik, and campus safety, among other items.
Last Friday, Bwog attended the opening performance of Mayday, Columbia’s 130th annual Varsity Show. This year’s production was directed by Caroline Egler (BC ‘24), and written by Julian Gerber (CC ‘24) and Casey Rogerson (CC ‘24).
In an Instagram post on Monday, nonprofit Palestine Legal announced the federal Office for Civil Rights would investigate Columbia for allegations of discrimination against Palestinian students.
On the evening of April 30, the SGA Executive Board emailed an open letter addressed to President Laura Rosenbury and other members of the Columbia and Barnard Administration. They criticized the actions of the administration going back months for alienating students and ignoring their voices, and issued lists of demands and recommendations.
