Friday, 4/15 Dear Diary, It’s the morning after my first night sleeping in Low Library. I feel…different. I can’t believe it happened. The […]

Money: something we, as college students in NYC, love to think about but rarely have on hand. We sent Bwog staffer Betsy Ladyzhets to a lecture on neoliberalism and campus finance to torture her with money talk, but it ended up being an informative panel. We’ll try better next time–maybe a talk on how millennials are […]

If you go to Low Steps right now you might see people in suits walk up to the entrance of the building, then turn around growling in frustration when they realize that protesters have caused the building to be locked down. This lockdown is part of CDCJ’s  protest in support of fossil fuel divestment, which […]

In an email sent out to students, President Bollinger announced his appointment of Ruth DeFries and Jeffrey Sachs as University Professors, “the highest rank Columbia bestows on its faculty.” They join a select group numbering only fifteen, and which counts academic notables from Richard Axel (biology) and Joseph Stiglitz (economics) to Gayatri Spivak (English and comparative […]

As of this afternoon, the term of Columbia’s illustrious president Lee Bollinger has been extended an additional four years, to 2022. Not only does this mean PrezBo will still be running the show when he’s 75, it makes his projected term the third longest in Columbia history. The Columbia board has made this decision due […]

Joe Milholland, Governmental Bwogger Extraordinaire, attended the USenate plenary this week. An unexpectedly wide range of topics came up, making for some interesting takeaways. But, of course, how can one have a USenate plenary without mentioning the Smoking Policy? The University Senate had a plenary on Friday, and several smaller topics came up. Here they are, followed […]

PrezBo’s Defense of Affirmative Action and Discussion of Columbia’s Racial Policy At the beginning of Friday’s University Senate plenary, PrezBo gave a long speech about racism and the university’s role therein.

We bring you another piece from the Blue and White‘s November issue (which is now online) by Managing Editor Channing Prend on the new Columbia research study focusing on sexual health at the university. “Last weekend I was standing in line to get into 1020…” These words could have been uttered by any number of students […]

Bwog Editor-In-Chief Britt Fossum had the fortunate opportunity to attend one of PrezBo’s intimate “fireside chats,” bringing a junior staffer along as her escort. The pair report back about the exclusive event to you here–lucky you! Another year, another fireside chat. Milling about in a crowd of freshmen and administrators, I felt like an expert at […]
