Barnard and College Clash as Clerical Strike Widens
The Barnard College strike by 65 to 70 clerical workers enters a new phase with support from campus groups and national unions. Talks continue after two rejected wage proposals, while Barnard and Columbia face injunction talks over a no strike clause. Union organizers report growing solidarity on the picket lines as 90 percent of members voice support, though 30 percent of workers have returned to duties according to College figures.

Barnard Considers Switching to Columbia Style Course Points
A 1966 32 course plan faced review in 1971 with a subcommittee proposing Barnard adopt Columbia’s point system. The faculty rejected the plan in 1972 citing academic philosophy and cross listing, noting financials do not drive change and suggesting Columbia may eventually adopt Barnard’s system. Breunig explains points hinge on load not contact hours, and cross-listing costs are shared with Columbia students.

Ms. Stephens notes many students avoid career workshops to avoid facing work. She says avoidance limits options, while programs exist for those who pursue them. Ms. Gould adds success if they ease future plans in any chosen direction.
