This week’s SGA meeting welcomed yet another Barnard administrator to remind SGA just how little they know about how colleges get run. Chair of the Board of Trustees Jolyne Caruso-Fitzgerald sat down with Barnard’s Rep Council to discuss President Spar’s interim replacement, as well as how the search committee will go about finding someone permanent. Caruso-Fitzgerald, who […]

This week, Barnard’s SGA welcomed not one, not two, but three administrative guests. This is by far (well, by one) the largest number of administrative guests at a single this meeting this year. So what happened at this star-studded meeting of the Rep Council? Read on to find out. Louise Hood, Associate Vice President and […]

This week in SGA, the emphasis was on how they planned on spending away the endowment and, more importantly what Barnard is already spending your tuition on. Buckle your seat belts, because this past SGA meeting was a bumpy, ambiguous ride. At last night’s Barnard’s Student Government Association Rep Council meeting, VP of Finance, Evelyn McCorkle, presented the proposals […]

In this week’s survey of Barnard’s SGA meeting, Dassi Karp discusses recent Seven Sister Conference and campus health, among other Barnard related initiatives. So, Barnard’s Student Government Association met again. In a departure from recent excitement (mostly about Barnard Contingent Faculty/UAW dealings with the admission, which don’t seem to have advanced at all), this week’s […]

Disappearing Diana Furniture, Dodge gym becoming unsafe for women, an update on transgender rhetoric on campus, oh my! Gabbi Kloppers, SGA reporter, takes you inside another interesting SGA meeting. Here’s what you missed at SGA: A large part of the meeting was devoted to reflecting on the most recent Town Hall meeting, which was focused […]

This week’s SGA meeting as all about the Benjamins, as many aspects of the discussion had to do with money. Instead of indulging in the first 2016 Presidential Debate, Staff Writer Dassi Karp attended the meeting and left with one thing on her mind: BBHMM! Last night, a strong and smart woman took to the political […]

In a recent email to the Barnard student body, SGA announced the winners of the First-Year Class Council. 45.7% of the Class of 2020 voted – a higher turnout than in the past two years. The email praised the “successful, innovative and productive campaigns” of all of the candidates. The new Barnard First-Year Class Council […]

This week’s SGA meeting seemed like a bit of a circle jerk, each rep congratulating another on what accomplishments were made last year. They brushed over some topics that they couldn’t make a dent in (we’re looking at you, Winter Housing Policy and Free Tampons), but largely just wanted to talk about Diana swipes. We sent Bwogger […]

The president of Barnard’s student government has been in the news a lot lately, so what’s one more article on Shivani? We love her and her outspoken attitude, so we figured she’d have a lot to say, and it turns out we were right… even about cheese. Name, School, Major, Hometown: Shivani Vikuntam, Barnard College, […]

The votes are in for Barnard’s student government! SGA’s election results can be viewed below. They had a 28% voter turnout, according to SGA.  The revised SGA constitution also passed. SGA President: Sara Heiny Vice President for Policy: Maya Edwards Vice President for Campus Life: Angela Beam Vice President for Communications: Margot Langstaff Vice President […]

SGA has announced the list of candidates for this week’s online election (go to myBarnard, bears!) from 12 pm Tuesday – 12 pm Friday . The Candidates’ Forum will take place this Sunday, April 17th, in Diana LL103 at 4pm. You can hear speeches and ask questions.

This week, SGA listened to both sides of the argument for and against partnership with Columbia Elections Board. Their constitutional review committee has been working all year to make helpful changes to the SGA constitution, but these presentations required them to take quick action on their (nonexistent) affiliation with the Columbia Elections Board. “When shit comes […]

On Monday evening, the SGA town hall attracted staff writer Mia Lindheimer – mostly due to the free Thai Market. Little did she know, her eyes would be opened to one of the most heated debates on campus: the Barnard-Columbia relationship. Do we all attend the same “university”? Yes. Are we separate colleges? Yes. So where does […]

SGA continues its Byzantine processes this week for, well, just about everything. Luckily, as Barnard Bearoness Raji Ganapathy reports, SGA actually underspent their budget and received a more or less neutral response towards Orgo Night. That’s a victory in our books. This week SGA kicked things off with a brief but necessary conversation with Dr. […]
