The New York Times reports President Park at Barnard weighing curriculum innovation to cut costs amid high professor salaries and a large enrollment. Proposals include limiting class meetings and students working independently, raising concerns that diminished contact could turn Barnard into a correspondence program and shift focus from students to professors.
Georgia A Samios argues that the university council oversteps by denying student choice on releasing class ranks amid draft fears. She warns trustees to own the life or death stakes of student freedom and opposes both compulsory and non release policies.
Undergrad clarifies that the building fund money came from a six year old set aside sum not from current activity fees. The funds were earmarked for a student center that never launched and are now donated by the past Assembly to support the college’s future plans. A referendum on allocation is deemed unnecessary as Rep Assembly members handle annual allotments through the Treasurer.
Recent class officer elections show a failing system as the class of 68 tried to meet under the old constitution but low attendance forced a shift to a platform posting and voting by nine. Despite mostly unopposed races, 82 ballots were cast between 10 am and 2 pm, indicating strong participation and urging standardization in the new Barnard constitution to maximize publicity and participation.
Pamela S. criticizes Barnard College leadership for cuts to course hours and the four course system. She argues the move undermines university education, reduces faculty by economics, and urges affiliation with Columbia to avoid a loss of quality and access.
