Good morning, Columbia, hope you’re all set for some more Madonna Constantine updates. Oh good, let’s get started. First, according to last night’s AP report, Constantine has decided to appeal her termination, claiming that she was fired because of the noose incident and that the plagiarism charges are “baseless.”  And speaking of nooses, it’s finally […]

Today, the Village Voice ran the first part of a billion part article that’s something like the definitive account of everything that happened surrounding Madonna Constantine. You might recall October’s noose-hanging incident and the whole multiple charges of plagiarism thing, for example. Anyway, we’ve distilled everything that’s new and important in the article in easy-to-digest […]

Boo dearth of housing for GS kids.  Hooray Manhattanville! Boo hateful speech on Juicy Campus.  Hooray censorship! Boo unclear CUIT back up policies.  Hooray transparency on the Information Super Highway! Boo rigid Physics major requirements. Hooray to superficial study of sciences through opinion columns! Boo plagiarism scandal.  Hooray record donation?!

Most Columbia students remember gym class as a pre-pubescent nightmare characterized by itchy uniforms, bloody noses, changing in public, and balls flying into their groins. Steve Silverman says it doesn’t have to be that way. Silverman runs the physical education program at Teacher’s College (making him a gym teacher who teaches gym teachers how to […]

The following is a departure from typical Bwog style. But Bwog staffer Lydia DePillis couldn’t help bringing it to your attention anyway, and hopes you’ll bear with something that’s more sweetness than snark. Just across Morningside Park, another school is gearing up for the start of classes on Tuesday. Teachers at P.S. 180 spend long […]

Yes, Bwog is immature. But read the following and imagine for a second if your job was to be a pimp for South Asian cripples. Just for a second.
