Internal editor Zoe Sottile is hoping to get something special in her stocking this year… looking at you, PrezBo. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, in 2016, our beloved and mysterious Prezbo made a cool $3,927,961. Meanwhile, Peter Salovey, the president of Yale, made a comparatively frugal $1,282,777. Bwog set out to figure out […]

Though protestors repeatedly tried to teach Columbia a lesson about worker’s rights, Prezbo has been notably absent from the conversation. Part of this is due to the fact that he is not on campus. Where did this enigmatic dictator go? Staff writer Megan Wylie has some thoughts. The past week has included a lot of protestors, […]
Fed up with whiny Columbia students, living next to Wien, and shitty dining hall food, PrezBo is planning a move to a sunnier locale. We spotted his Audi for sale on Craigslist with a description reading: ‘desperately stressed university president needs money to fund move to Aruba.’ The president was last seen getting beaded braids in preparation for […]

Early Monday afternoon, the Graduate Workers of Columbia-UAW (GWC-UAW) released an open letter to President Bollinger, in which it declared to hold a strike authorization vote if the university did not honor the union’s existence.

In a meeting this evening, SGA voted unanimously in favor of releasing a statement supporting graduate student unionization, making SGA the first student government body on campus to do so.
