The Columbia Underground Listing of Professor Ability (CULPA) is a professor ratings site, where students go to praise professors they like and slag off those they do not. There lies nary a review in between.

It was established in 1997 and is not officially affiliated with the university. It allows students to anonymously post their own reviews of their professors. It is regarded as one of the most useful tools for students looking to enroll in a class, boasting over 10,000 reviews. Because of the candid nature of the submissions, the site has occasionally been accused of harboring biased reviews and misrepresenting professors. Still, it is the main source of professor review currently available to the Columbia student body.

Some students have been trying to get the administration to set up an official professor review site. As of the Spring 2007 semester, course evaluations have been made available on CourseWorks as part of the administrations attempt to make official reviews available for students.
