<p>Adolph Lewisohn: /* Partial list of suicides */</p> <hr /> <div>Columbia has had its share of &#039;&#039;&#039;suicides&#039;&#039;&#039; like most other elite institutions of higher learning (but unlike [[NYU]], which has had far more). If you or someone you know has made even a passing remark about suicide, it is suggested to contact [[Health Services]] immediately.<br /> <br /> == Partial list of suicides ==<br /> <br /> This list is very incomplete since major media outlets, for the most part, stopped reporting on college suicides during the 1960s.<br /> <br /> {|<br /> |- style=&quot;background:#DDDDDD;&quot;<br /> !

<p>Adolph Lewisohn: /* Absentminded */</p> <hr /> <div>== Future of WikiCU ==<br /> <br /> OK, guys, help. I graduate in May. How do we take WikiCU forward? I&#039;m perfectly happy to continue owning the site and keeping it on my server as this takes up very little time or money. However, once I graduate I&#039;ll have very little time or inclination to moderate the site or make any significant changes. And it&#039;s not just me. TTan recently observed that &quot;the current cadre of editors are mainly former CUCom regs and almost all of them are alums,&quot; and most other users tend to make worthless contributions (inside jokes, irrelevant, self-promoting, etc). As TTan says, &quot;we need fresh blood on WikiCU.&quot; So we either need a marketing strategy or I need to have over the reigns to someone else. Now, the university - which includes the student councils and all student groups - doesn&#039;t want anything to do with the site because they&#039;re afraid of being liable for any contributions. (Technically, under the DMCA, websites aren&#039;t responsible for user-submitted content, but the university is stubborn, hey what&#039;s new.) In light of this, I see the follow options:<br /> <br /> * Continue as before. Hope and pray for new editors. Maybe apply a new skin/theme/style to make it look all swish.<br /> <br /> * Transform the wiki into something more like a portal with a Columbia start page, blog feeds on the front page, weather, Spec headlines, votes, a forum, etc. CUCommmunity reborn. On the downside this would take a lot of effort - I certainly couldn&#039;t do it myself. And do people really want another version of what is ultimately a social networking website when they&#039;ve already got Facebook? This option would become infinitely more attractive if Culpa and/or Cueats and/or BoredAtColumbia.net would join us in building a mega portal.<br /> <br /> * Hand the site over to Spec. They&#039;ll still be around in 10 years, and in between hopefully lots of Speccies will work on improving the site. But they&#039;re hardly the most innovative bunch (remember all those efforts at making a splog). And because they&#039;re run by a big group of people, and new people every year, they might never get round to making any improvements. Also several contributors here really don&#039;t trust the Spec.<br /> <br /> * Hand things over to another successful CU website. Bwog? Culpa? Would they even want anything to do with WikiCU? At least they&#039;ve demonstrated the ability to create a good website, respond to student requests, and keep their respective sites running for several years.<br /> <br /> * Give it to Wikia, the commercial arm of Wikipedia. They&#039;ll keep it running. But it&#039;ll have a ton of ads and Columbians will lose all control.<br /> <br /> * Give it to some other student. But who? Plus this doesn&#039;t solve much because this student will also graduate like me, and isn&#039;t necessarily more reliable than me. I think Culpa does something like this - the site is owned by one person, but they designate one or two current students to run it on an everyday basis. Questions: what if this one person completely neglects the site? and how does this person choose current students to run it? surely it&#039;s better to hand WikiCU to an on-campus organization that will keep the site running for years to come even if it doesn&#039;t do a great job???<br /> <br /> Please let me know your thoughts and ideas. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 04:08, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Pacman ==<br /> <br /> :If the site can remain on this server I see no need for most of the proposed fixes. What we really need are more people with an interest in the sort of material that&#039;s compiled here. Here are some ideas for that, specifically:<br /> ::*Improve the site&#039;s Google rating. I&#039;m not really sure how (maybe Google bomb stuff), but this has really low visibility on search engines, which hurts its relevance and ability to pull in contributors.<br /> ::*Advertise. Flyering, appeals to Bwog, whatever.<br /> ::*Reach out to alumni. They already contribute lots of stuff to the stories section of the alumni website, and have committed interests, like the Ultimate Frisbee team people. You could write to the alumni magazines (e.g. Columbia magazine or CCT) asking if they could run a story about the effort, which should pull in some disparate people. <br /> <br /> :All I can think of for now. Anything else? [[User:Pacman|Pacman]] 04:17, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> * Unfortunate as it may be, the reality is that I&#039;m not going to do all that! {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Absentminded ==<br /> <br /> :My two cents: adopt the culpa management scheme. <br /> ::*Flyer on campus to recruit a &#039;staff&#039; of editors (admins, really)<br /> ::*At an interest meeting ask them to apply.<br /> ::*Application should include ideas for leveraging the wiki, increasing usage, etc. Should also ask them to create an entry from scratch.<br /> ::*I would really like to see some kind of development alliance between us, CULPA, and the new hungrycu.com guys.<br /> ::*It&#039;s pretty clear that because of it&#039;s nature the wiki will draw less traffic. It might be a good idea to flesh out a few areas fully to show off. Housing would be the easiest- come up with a standard article format and bring the entire category up to snuff for buildings, really put together a solid lottery article, since that&#039;s something that first years will ALWAYS come looking for help on. Then we let the wiki do it&#039;s magic when they start clicking links to other articles...<br /> ::*Aside: It&#039;s too bad that [[Robert McCaughey]]&#039;s class isn&#039;t around anymore. This would&#039;ve been a great platform for his &#039;research project&#039; assignments.<br /> :-[[User:Absentminded|Absentminded]] 04:26, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> :::*I think a similar version of McCaughey&#039;s Columbia course is being offered next semester. [[User:Adolph Lewisohn|Adolph Lewisohn]] 02:00, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> * I&#039;m open to alliances, but I doubt any sort of small-scale alliance would lead to anything. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == ttan ==<br /> <br /> :First off. Make a &#039;&#039;&#039;prominent&#039;&#039;&#039; link on the main page to this. Right now, the only people who even know this discussion is going on are the aforementioned CUCom regs and other obsessive &quot;Recent changes&quot; checkers with no life. We need to put it out there that there&#039;s a serious discussion going on with respect to WikiCU&#039;s future. That being said, here are my observations:<br /> ::*I concur with Absentminded. There is a fairly well-established trend of student-run websites that manage to survive several generations -- most notably CULPA and Bwog. However, that&#039;s because they either have a strong and regimented organisation (Bwog), or they serve a pressing need (CULPA). Since it is the very nature of Wikis that they are collaborative and each contributors contributes with respect to his or her free time and knowledge (and also since there&#039;s no need for strong organisation), I think the CULPA method is an interesting study.<br /> ::*To add further credence to the CULPA method, I am a big fan of having a &quot;core&quot; team who can take ultimate responsibility and ownership for a site like WikiCU. For any community to exist (e.g. CUCommunity) there has to be base of regular users that know each other and work together on a regular basis. WikiCU cannot be Wikipedia because we simply don&#039;t have that critical mass of users (and even that being said, I will wager that the vast majority of Wiki edits are made by a relatively small base of editors, and the vast majority of Wiki users are readers).<br /> ::*Absolutely do not give it to Spec. That organisation can&#039;t even maintain a consistent web front (it changed no less than 3 times in my four years here). Their upper ranks are full of overambitious zealots over-eager to add their own stamp to a something that isn&#039;t broke to begin with. And the point about Splogs is well-put -- they can&#039;t even keep that up. What worries me more is that they will close it off, either explicitly or implicitly. Explicit -- only allow Speccies to edit. Implicit -- brand it so that non-Speccies will feel unwelcome.<br /> ::*Absolutely do not give it to Wikia. I can only imagine the mayhem that will be unleashed on this if non-Columbians are the editors. We might run into your asshole friend who insisted on reversing all your edits on the &quot;University of North America&quot; (remember that?)<br /> ::*Absolutely don&#039;t try to turn it into CUCommunity reborn. Why? The more complicated this site is, the harder it will be to maintain and keep up-to-date. What ultimately killed CUCommunity wasn&#039;t just Valcarcel&#039;s constant declarations of war, etc., but because Adam couldn&#039;t keep up with the buginess and complaints and feature requests of an interface he wrote himself from scratch.<br /> ::*What would be very useful is if you could provide some technical stats on WikiCU. Space needed, bandwidth requirements, monthly users, etc., etc., etc.<br /> * [[WikiCU:About#Statistics|Stats]]. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> ::*If we do elect to go the CULPA route, now might be a good time to appoint some positions. You can be &#039;Owner&#039;. Feinstein, myself, absentminded, Pacman and others who have made some substantive contributions can be &#039;Senior Editors&#039;. A few that choose to volunteer their continued time and commitment as alums can be part of the &#039;Management Committee&#039; or something. That way you can advertise that WikiCU is looking for Senior Editors and Management Committeepersons.<br /> :[[User:Ttan|Ttan]] 04:43, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> * That all sounds very bureaucratic. Anyone can edit WikiCU already. What problems would this bureaucracy solve? If you want though, I&#039;ll let you be Chairman of the Management Committee. How does that sound, Chairman Tao? ;) {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Feinstein ==<br /> <br /> I&#039;m with absentminded and ttan, a CULPA style management scheme would have the best shot at longevity. Attracting new, interested editors is pretty important to the continued life of the site. I can certainly stick around and keep an eye on things. [[User:Feinstein|Feinstein]] 16:36, 1 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Adolph Lewisohn ==<br /> <br /> :We discussed very early about the prospects of turning this site over the Spec and I still believe now what I strongly suggested then: do not, under any circumstances, turn this user-driven independent website over to, as others have indicated, a group that cannot properly maintain a website in any form. The beauty of this website remains its independence and I would be extremely cautious before turning it over to anyone with a potential bias. My biggest concern, as it has been since day one, is watching my own work for a small, independent website get turned over to some large campus group that won&#039;t bother to acknowledge you or preserve what you&#039;ve done. I will add a bit more later, but, quickly:<br /> ::*There needs to be a stronger group of &quot;core&quot; users -- not a group of replacements, but a group to take over once some of us can no longer actively scan the wiki. I didn&#039;t even learn about this potential problem until reading about it on Bwog a few minutes ago. I&#039;ve also been wrapped up in papers and exams and whatnot and haven&#039;t had all the time in the world to devote to this site like I did back in the spring and summer when it first went online.<br /> ::*An on-campus meeting for anyone interested in joining wikicu, complete with free pizza, a facebook group, and no fewer than three blast emails. Actually, do not do any of this.<br /> ::*The hosting situation. I understand we use dreamhost. Dreamhost is great for the first year, but then it demands a good amount of money. How are we doing in that area? Should we solicit donations ala wikipedia?<br /> * Cost of hosting isn&#039;t an issue, but thanks. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> ::*Subtle advertising in the form of links. I see sometimes people, and I&#039;m not sure how closely they&#039;re involved with the site, post &quot;for more information&quot; kind of links to Bwog redirecting to this site. I remember a few months ago, some people doing the same over at collegeconfidential. It&#039;s not a bad idea, hoping that a few of those people could catch on make a number of edits on their own. [[User:Adolph Lewisohn|Adolph Lewisohn]] 00:04, 2 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Reaganaut ==<br /> <br /> * Generally the consensus is to continue as before. I&#039;m more than happy to continue hosting indefinitely, but I doubt I&#039;ll pursue many of your thoughtful suggestions (flyers, staff, committee, and so on). Yet I still think there&#039;s got to be a way to reinvigorate the site and take it forward. It&#039;s already got a ton of fantastic content, but we still really need more readers, more editors, more community. I&#039;m inclined to post class notes, study guides, etc. to start bringing in a lot more traffic. Anyway, I&#039;ll give some more thought to the various options over the next few weeks. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 01:30, 2 December 2007 (EST)</div>

I&#039;m perfectly happy to continue owning the site and keeping it on my server as this takes up very little time or money. However, once I graduate I&#039;ll have very little time or inclination to moderate the site or make any significant changes. And it&#039;s not just me. TTan recently observed that &quot;the current cadre of editors are mainly former CUCom regs and almost all of them are alums,&quot; and most other users tend to make worthless contributions (inside jokes, irrelevant, self-promoting, etc). As TTan says, &quot;we need fresh blood on WikiCU.&quot; So we either need a marketing strategy or I need to have over the reigns to someone else. Now, the university - which includes the student councils and all student groups - doesn&#039;t want anything to do with the site because they&#039;re afraid of being liable for any contributions. (Technically, under the DMCA, websites aren&#039;t responsible for user-submitted content, but the university is stubborn, hey what&#039;s new.) In light of this, I see the follow options:<br /> <br /> * Continue as before. Hope and pray for new editors. Maybe apply a new skin/theme/style to make it look all swish.<br /> <br /> * Transform the wiki into something more like a portal with a Columbia start page, blog feeds on the front page, weather, Spec headlines, votes, a forum, etc. CUCommmunity reborn. On the downside this would take a lot of effort - I certainly couldn&#039;t do it myself. And do people really want another version of what is ultimately a social networking website when they&#039;ve already got Facebook? This option would become infinitely more attractive if Culpa and/or Cueats and/or BoredAtColumbia.net would join us in building a mega portal.<br /> <br /> * Hand the site over to Spec. They&#039;ll still be around in 10 years, and in between hopefully lots of Speccies will work on improving the site. But they&#039;re hardly the most innovative bunch (remember all those efforts at making a splog). And because they&#039;re run by a big group of people, and new people every year, they might never get round to making any improvements. Also several contributors here really don&#039;t trust the Spec.<br /> <br /> * Hand things over to another successful CU website. Bwog? Culpa? Would they even want anything to do with WikiCU? At least they&#039;ve demonstrated the ability to create a good website, respond to student requests, and keep their respective sites running for several years.<br /> <br /> * Give it to Wikia, the commercial arm of Wikipedia. They&#039;ll keep it running. But it&#039;ll have a ton of ads and Columbians will lose all control.<br /> <br /> * Give it to some other student. But who? Plus this doesn&#039;t solve much because this student will also graduate like me, and isn&#039;t necessarily more reliable than me. I think Culpa does something like this - the site is owned by one person, but they designate one or two current students to run it on an everyday basis. Questions: what if this one person completely neglects the site? and how does this person choose current students to run it? surely it&#039;s better to hand WikiCU to an on-campus organization that will keep the site running for years to come even if it doesn&#039;t do a great job???<br /> <br /> Please let me know your thoughts and ideas. {{User:Reaganaut/sig}} 04:08, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Pacman ==<br /> <br /> :If the site can remain on this server I see no need for most of the proposed fixes. What we really need are more people with an interest in the sort of material that&#039;s compiled here. Here are some ideas for that, specifically:<br /> ::*Improve the site&#039;s Google rating. I&#039;m not really sure how (maybe Google bomb stuff), but this has really low visibility on search engines, which hurts its relevance and ability to pull in contributors.<br /> ::*Advertise. Flyering, appeals to Bwog, whatever.<br /> ::*Reach out to alumni. They already contribute lots of stuff to the stories section of the alumni website, and have committed interests, like the Ultimate Frisbee team people. You could write to the alumni magazines (e.g. Columbia magazine or CCT) asking if they could run a story about the effort, which should pull in some disparate people. <br /> <br /> :All I can think of for now. Anything else? [[User:Pacman|Pacman]] 04:17, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Absentminded ==<br /> <br /> :My two cents: adopt the culpa management scheme. <br /> ::*Flyer on campus to recruit a &#039;staff&#039; of editors (admins, really)<br /> ::*At an interest meeting ask them to apply.<br /> ::*Application should include ideas for leveraging the wiki, increasing usage, etc. Should also ask them to create an entry from scratch.<br /> ::*I would really like to see some kind of development alliance between us, CULPA, and the new hungrycu.com guys.<br /> ::*It&#039;s pretty clear that because of it&#039;s nature the wiki will draw less traffic. It might be a good idea to flesh out a few areas fully to show off. Housing would be the easiest- come up with a standard article format and bring the entire category up to snuff for buildings, really put together a solid lottery article, since that&#039;s something that first years will ALWAYS come looking for help on. Then we let the wiki do it&#039;s magic when they start clicking links to other articles...<br /> ::*Aside: It&#039;s too bad that [[Robert McCaughey]]&#039;s class isn&#039;t around anymore. This would&#039;ve been a great platform for his &#039;research project&#039; assignments.<br /> :-[[User:Absentminded|Absentminded]] 04:26, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == ttan ==<br /> <br /> :First off. Make a &#039;&#039;&#039;prominent&#039;&#039;&#039; link on the main page to this. Right now, the only people who even know this discussion is going on are the aforementioned CUCom regs and other obsessive &quot;Recent changes&quot; checkers with no life. We need to put it out there that there&#039;s a serious discussion going on with respect to WikiCU&#039;s future. That being said, here are my observations:<br /> ::*I concur with Absentminded. There is a fairly well-established trend of student-run websites that manage to survive several generations -- most notably CULPA and Bwog. However, that&#039;s because they either have a strong and regimented organisation (Bwog), or they serve a pressing need (CULPA). Since it is the very nature of Wikis that they are collaborative and each contributors contributes with respect to his or her free time and knowledge (and also since there&#039;s no need for strong organisation), I think the CULPA method is an interesting study.<br /> ::*To add further credence to the CULPA method, I am a big fan of having a &quot;core&quot; team who can take ultimate responsibility and ownership for a site like WikiCU. For any community to exist (e.g. CUCommunity) there has to be base of regular users that know each other and work together on a regular basis. WikiCU cannot be Wikipedia because we simply don&#039;t have that critical mass of users (and even that being said, I will wager that the vast majority of Wiki edits are made by a relatively small base of editors, and the vast majority of Wiki users are readers).<br /> ::*Absolutely do not give it to Spec. That organisation can&#039;t even maintain a consistent web front (it changed no less than 3 times in my four years here). Their upper ranks are full of overambitious zealots over-eager to add their own stamp to a something that isn&#039;t broke to begin with. And the point about Splogs is well-put -- they can&#039;t even keep that up. What worries me more is that they will close it off, either explicitly or implicitly. Explicit -- only allow Speccies to edit. Implicit -- brand it so that non-Speccies will feel unwelcome.<br /> ::*Absolutely do not give it to Wikia. I can only imagine the mayhem that will be unleashed on this if non-Columbians are the editors. We might run into your asshole friend who insisted on reversing all your edits on the &quot;University of North America&quot; (remember that?)<br /> ::*Absolutely don&#039;t try to turn it into CUCommunity reborn. Why? The more complicated this site is, the harder it will be to maintain and keep up-to-date. What ultimately killed CUCommunity wasn&#039;t just Valcarcel&#039;s constant declarations of war, etc., but because Adam couldn&#039;t keep up with the buginess and complaints and feature requests of an interface he wrote himself from scratch.<br /> ::*What would be very useful is if you could provide some technical stats on WikiCU. Space needed, bandwidth requirements, monthly users, etc., etc., etc.<br /> ::*If we do elect to go the CULPA route, now might be a good time to appoint some positions. You can be &#039;Owner&#039;. Feinstein, myself, absentminded, Pacman and others who have made some substantive contributions can be &#039;Senior Editors&#039;. A few that choose to volunteer their continued time and commitment as alums can be part of the &#039;Management Committee&#039; or something. That way you can advertise that WikiCU is looking for Senior Editors and Management Committeepersons.<br /> :[[User:Ttan|Ttan]] 04:43, 19 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Feinstein ==<br /> <br /> I&#039;m with absentminded and ttan, a CULPA style management scheme would have the best shot at longevity. Attracting new, interested editors is pretty important to the continued life of the site. I can certainly stick around and keep an eye on things. [[User:Feinstein|Feinstein]] 16:36, 1 December 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> == Adolph Lewisohn ==<br /> <br /> :We discussed very early about the prospects of turning this site over the Spec and I still believe now what I strongly suggested then: do not, under any circumstances, turn this user-driven independent website over to, as others have indicated, a group that cannot properly maintain a website in any form. The beauty of this website remains its independence and I would be extremely cautious before turning it over to anyone with a potential bias. My biggest concern, as it has been since day one, is watching my own work for a small, independent website get turned over to some large campus group that won&#039;t bother to acknowledge you or preserve what you&#039;ve done. I will add a bit more later, but, quickly:<br /> ::*There needs to be a stronger group of &quot;core&quot; users -- not a group of replacements, but a group to take over once some of us can no longer actively scan the wiki. I didn&#039;t even learn about this potential problem until reading about it on Bwog a few minutes ago. I&#039;ve also been wrapped up in papers and exams and whatnot and haven&#039;t had all the time in the world to devote to this site like I did back in the spring and summer when it first went online.<br /> ::*An on-campus meeting for anyone interested in joining wikicu, complete with free pizza, a facebook group, and no fewer than three blast emails. Actually, do not do any of this.<br /> ::*The hosting situation. I understand we use dreamhost. Dreamhost is great for the first year, but then it demands a good amount of money. How are we doing in that area? Should we solicit donations ala wikipedia?<br /> ::*Subtle advertising in the form of links. I see sometimes people, and I&#039;m not sure how closely they&#039;re involved with the site, post &quot;for more information&quot; kind of links to Bwog redirecting to this site. I remember a few months ago, some people doing the same over at collegeconfidential. It&#039;s not a bad idea, hoping that a few of those people could catch on make a number of edits on their own.

Banking off several recent [[2007 bias incidents|&quot;bias incidents&quot;]] involving racist graffiti and symbols seen around campus, a group of students went on a &#039;&#039;&#039;hunger strike&#039;&#039;&#039;, and lassoed some vague and general demands into an agenda they hoped they would coerce the administration into accepting. Students dropped in and out of the strike, but the plurality went without food for 10 days.<br /> <br /> As of [[November 16]], the administration met some demands it was planning to address anyway, which ended the hunger portion of the protest, though protesting students plan to continue camping out on [[South Lawn]] and holding vigils. <br /> <br /> == General focus areas of demands ==<br /> # Administrative reform<br /> # Further expansion of [[Ethnic Studies]]<br /> # No expansion into Harlem (see [[Manhattanville expansion]])<br /> # [[Core Curriculum]] reform<br /> <br /> == Participants ==<br /> # [[Bryan Mercer]], 22, a senior at Columbia (dropped out on 11/15)<br /> # [[Samantha Barron]], 19, Barnard sophomore from California<br /> # [[Aretha Choi]], 19, a Barnard sophomore from Colorado (dropped out on 11/11)<br /> # [[Emilie Rosenblatt]], 22, a Columbia senior from Illinois (dropped out on 11/15)<br /> # [[Victoria Ruiz]], 20, a Columbia junior from California<br /> # [[Rich Brown]], a Columbia junior (joined on 11/13)<br /> # [[April Simpson]], a Columbia freshman (joined on 11/13)<br /> <br /> ==Reactions==<br /> <br /> ===Support===<br /> <br /> [[Lucha]], the [[MSA]], the [[College Democrats]], [[SEEJ]], and the [[ISO]] are among student groups offering support. The [[CCSC]], [[GSSC]], and Barnard&#039;s [[SGA]] have offered &quot;statements of solidarity&quot;. <br /> <br /> The strikers are also supported by some members of the faculty, notably [[Hamid Dabashi]], [[Gil Anidjar]], [[Nicholas De Genova]], and [[Barnard]] PoliSci prof [[Dennis Dalton]], who declared he would join the strike, but continues to consume water and juice. The entire faculty of the [[Center for the Study of Ethnicity and Race]] has also declared support. <br /> <br /> Alumni who have visibly supported the strike include the hunger strikers of [[1996]], [[Mark Rudd]], [[Jennifer Oki]], [[Nell Geiser]], and [[Alexis Pauline Gumbs]]. Anti-Columbia singer [[Nellie McKay]] is also an active supporter.<br /> <br /> ===Opposition===<br /> <br /> An informal anti-strike group has been organized on [[Facebook]] by [[Aga Sablinska]] and has held counter-protests.&lt;ref&gt;http://columbia.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6847924917&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The [[ESC]] is the only student group to officially oppose the strike so far. A &#039;&#039;[[Spec]]&#039;&#039; poll found that 64% of the student body does not support the strike and that 73% think that the administration negotiating with them would set a bad precedent. <br /> <br /> Anti-Manhattanville expansion [[Community Board 9]] believes the methods employed by the strikers are unnecessary and counterproductive. <br /> <br /> In a published report in &#039;&#039;[[Spec]]&#039;&#039; on November 15, Dean of Student Affairs [[Chris Colombo]] reportedly told [[CCSC]] President [[Michelle Diamond]] that the strike &quot;is going to end one way or another tonight.&quot; Diamond subsequently issued a statement of her own, independent of the student government, asking for the strike to end. That day, the university prompted two strikers to drop out after threatening forced medical leave.<br /> <br /> == Timeline ==<br /> <br /> * [[November 7]]: The strike begins, tents erected on [[Butler Plaza]]. In the evening, Christmas lights are displayed along fencing of the lawn. It is unclear whether or not the strikers received permission to use university electricity.<br /> * [[November 11]]: Aretha Choi, battler of an eating disorder, drops out after she is found nonresponsive in 209 [[Butler Library|Butler]] and subsequently rushed to [[St. Lukes Hospital]].<br /> * [[November 14]]: At approximately 10:15 in the evening, [[Sam Rennebohm]], a member of the ad hoc coalition in support of the strikers, surrounded by a crowd of approximately 200 supporters and onlookers, declares that on November 15 at noon, students will demonstrate to prevent events from taking placed as scheduled at the university, including an alumni dinner with former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. Negotiations with the administration came to a stand-still with no new meetings scheduled.&lt;ref&gt;http://www.bwog.net/articles/1968_all_up_in_here&lt;/ref&gt; Shortly thereafter, &#039;&#039;[[Spec]]&#039;&#039; reports that a number of the strikers&#039; demands have been met (see below).<br /> * [[November 15]]: Mercer and Rosenblatt drop out after being threatened with forced medical leave by [[Health Services]]; strikers&#039; rally has a minimal impact due to rain. That night, anti-strikers hold a well-attended yet passive gathering on the [[Low Steps]].<br /> * [[November 16]]: The remaining strikers break their fast, but the group declares it will still be camping out in protest and holding nightly vigils as part of &quot;Phase Two&quot;. The anti-strikers announce their intention to continue their activities as well.<br /> * [[November 17]]: Just one day after vowing to remain camped out on Butler Plaza, the strikers took down their tents, turned off their holiday lights, and took their cardboard octopus home. That&#039;s all folks.<br /> <br /> ==Achievements==<br /> <br /> [[Columbia College]] dean [[Austin Quigley]] and [[Arts and Sciences]] VP [[Nicholas Dirks]] have tried to preempt the strike with announcements they&#039;re willing to make new administrative hires to represent diversity concerns, and have pledged further study regarding the status of the Core Curriculum. The Manhattanville expansion is so far not under negotiation.<br /> <br /> On November 14, &#039;&#039;[[Spec]]&#039;&#039; reported that the strikers had won the inclusion of a [[Major Cultures]] seminar to become part of the Core Curriculum, transforming the existing Major Cultures distribution requirement. Later, the univesity seemed to suggest that reform of Major Cultures would simply involve various departments&#039; &quot;submission of new syllabi&quot;. Either way, this will require a $50 million fundraising project. Among the other major goals the administration agreed to was mandatory [[anti-oppression training]] for incoming faculty.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.nysun.com/article/66076 NY Sun]<br /> * [http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/runninscared/archives/2007/11/six_student_go.php village voice (blog)]<br /> * [http://cu-strike.blogspot.com/ official hunger strike blog]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Protests]]</div>

However, these students merely ended up creating several anti-Fox and ironic pro-Fox [[Facebook]] groups. [[The Bwog]] initially mirrored the anger of many seniors, but gradually took a more detached tone, labelling the affair &#039;&#039;&#039;Speakergate &#039;07&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==The Speech==<br /> <br /> Despite the general disappointment in Fox&#039;s selection as speaker, many students who heard the speech said he was great, if not even better than [[John McCain|McCain]]. Nevertheless, rumors persist that his speech was ghostwritten.<br /> <br /> Among the highlights of Fox&#039;s speech were his listing of previous speakers, who appeared to far outstrip him in prestige, but, according to Fox, lacked the closeness with the graduating class he purported to share. He noted that unlike [[Harvard]] speaker Bill Gates, he was indeed a college graduate. He singled out senior [[Julia Kite]] for being quoted in the Spec as not knowing who Fox was, but followed by claiming he had always followed his passions, and that the Class of 2007 should do the same.<br /> <br /> &lt;videoflash&gt;V-vN2Lgrehg&lt;/videoflash&gt; &lt;videoflash&gt;bBZgftcj3SU&lt;/videoflash&gt;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.bwog.net/publicate/index.php?tag_id=1403 Bwog articles pertaining to Matthew Fox]<br /> <br /> {{succession|preceded=[[John McCain]]|succeeded=?|office=[[Columbia College]] [[Class Day]] Speaker|years=[[2007]]}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Columbia College alumni|Fox, Matthew]]<br /> [[Category:Columbia College Class Day speakers|Fox, Matthew]]</div>

In the station, MetroCards can be purchased from MetroCard vending machines using cash, credit, or debit. A single ride MetroCard, good for two hours, costs $2.00, though customers can save by purchasing pay-per-ride MetroCards. Pay-per-ride MetroCards can store between $4 and $80. Putting on $10 on your pay-per-ride MetroCard triggers a 20% bonus, whereby 6 rides can be obtained for the price of five (or, more accurately, $1.67 per ride). Unlimited MetroCards are also available for one day until the next 3 a.m. ($7), for seven days ($21), or for thirty days ($76). Complete MetroCard information is available [http://www.mta.info/metrocard/ here].<br /> <br /> == In the station ==<br /> <br /> Trains are often rerouted for system maintenance, especially on late nights (commonly between midnight and 5 a.m.), weekends, and holidays. It may be a good idea to check the [http://www.mta.info/ MTA website] for service changes and alerts before leaving. Advisories known in advance specific to individual stations are generally posted throughout fare control and subway platforms. A weekend summary is commonly posted next to the system map on subway platforms. Station attendants, usually located in booths at many points of fare control, should be able to assist with routine questions. <br /> <br /> == Trains ==<br /> <br /> === How to get to Columbia ===<br /> <br /> Take the (1) train to 116.<br /> <br /> If beginning south of 96 on the Broadway IRT (1), (2), and (3), make sure you are on a (1) train before leaving 96. When service is running normally, this means walking across the platform at 96 to the local track. When (2) and (3) trains are running local (late nights and sometimes due to system maintenance), this means detraining at 96 and waiting for a (1) train on the same track. (2) and (3) trains do not run up Broadway north of 96.<br /> <br /> === Advice for going uptown ===<br /> <br /> There&#039;s a world of New York north of Columbia that&#039;s mostly accessible by subway. Boarding an uptown (1) train at 116 means only a 10 8 minute ride to the [[Columbia Medial Center]], exiting at the venerable 168 station, and a 15 minute ride to the [[Baker Field]] athletic complex, exiting (above ground) at 215.<br /> <br /> === Advice for going downtown ===<br /> <br /> Beginning on a downtown (1) train at 116, be aware that the option usually exists to transfer to an express train across the platform at 96. The (2) and (3) express trains travel down Broadway on the upper west side and 7th Avenue below, making stops (alongside the (1) train) at 72, 42, 34, 14, and Chambers. Intermediate stops are accessible on the (1) train. Remember, express trains only save 5 to 10 minutes, tops, depending on one&#039;s destination. While time should be saved when traveling south of 34, it is probably to one&#039;s benefit to remain on the (1) train when traveling only as far as 42 (Times Square, a major transfer hub) or 34 (Penn Station, the next stop).<br /> <br /> == Crosstown ==<br /> <br /> There are a number of ways to get crosstown from 116. The most direct route is not by subway, but rather by bus. The M4 (heading downtown), which can be picked up at 116 and Broadway makes a left on 110 and a right down 5th Avenue (with a stop at 86 for the Metropolitan Museum of Art). The M4 runs back up along Madison Avenue. Be advised that local buses do generally stop, if requested, at every avenue and every couple of blocks. Once on the east side, the subway runs up and down Lexington Avenue.<br /> <br /> Crosstown buses are also available at 125 (one of which, the M60, can be boarded at 116 and Broadway), 96, 86, 79, 72, 66, 57, 50, 42, 34, 23, and 14, all north of Houston. Also, the (L) subway runs across 14 (and into Brooklyn).<br /> <br /> [[Category:Subway]]</div>

You&#039;re correct that the SAT/ACT information is not reported; however, due to the nature of the student body, some GS students undoubtedly took the SAT before it was recentered, some probably took it recently, after being out of high school for a number of years, and of course as the article mentions, some students take the GSAE, so a score report, while in some cases useful, wouldn&#039;t give as accurate a picture as a score report for a more traditional student body, whose students took basically the same test at roughly the same point in their lives. [[User:Hacker|Hacker]] 12:38, 28 March 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == CC-GS Backdoor ==<br /> *I&#039;d like to flesh this out. Here&#039;s what it amounts to. GS undergraduates are granted access to the exact same education as CC undergrads (instruction in the liberal arts and sciences by Columbia&#039;s Faculty of Arts and Science), are given the exact same credentials (a BA from the trustees of Columbia university), but are admitted through a completely different and barely transparent process (as stated above.) So on the one hand, GS students are entitled to feel entirely the equal of their CC peers. On the other, CC students are entirely justified in feeling upset at GS&#039;s status- it&#039;s essentially dilution of what they were told was a restricted access commodity for which they fought through stiff competition to get access to- Columbia BA&#039;s. Nowhere does Columbia explain in its undergraduate recruitment literature that in reality there are an addition 300 students in the same program who didn&#039;t have to fend against 17000 other candidates to claim one of a 1000 seats. The confusion and outrage at this &quot;revelation&quot; that most CC students have a hard time grasping could easily be avoided if the University made the GS admissions process far more transparent (which may require making the requirements more stringent to avoid embarrassment and and even greater outrage- though this might result in a decline in admits, enrollments, and tuition dollars). As it stands General Studies IS ostensibly a backdoor to a Columbia BA. The charge can neither by proved nor disproved in the current situation, which only lends weight to the suspicion that it is. In general Columbia needs to re-think how its undergrads are organized. Of course Barnard doesn&#039;t help either... [[User:Absentminded|Absentminded]] 23:26, 27 March 2007 (EDT)<br /> : I agree. That&#039;s actually what I was trying to do in this article. My belief is that CU owes it to both GS and CC students to be more transparent about this information. GS and CC students shouldn&#039;t have to feel like their degree is somehow less valuable due to a backdoor existing. For example, how hard would it be to post the SAT/ACT median and interquartile range? [[User:Feinstein|Feinstein]] 23:51, 27 March 2007 (EDT)<br /> :: As long as the university awards the BA to GS students, it&#039;s difficult to argue that the school exists as some sort of back door. The residential college serves a purpose and a student body quite distinct from the nontraditional school, while each gives qualified applicants the opportunity to learn within the same university. While arguably transparent in its admissions criteria, many GS admits do come from other top tier universities, while others took time off for whatever the reason and decided that the time was appropriate for a resumption of studies at an elite university. Those that can&#039;t cut it tend not to return, especially with merit (and not need) being the sole determinant of continuing financial aid. Those that do generally contribute a great deal to the academic setting and move on to graduate programs on par with their residential college peers. The only students I&#039;ve found dissatisfied with the existence of GS tend to be stuck in their own pretentious insecurities, seemingly bitter that the same degree is granted to so-called undeserving undesirables that failed to gain entrance to the degree through the unreasonably competitive traditional college process -- and since they somehow won that game, neither GS nor (in many cases) Barnard should receive papers conferring comparable studies completed at Columbia University. If the university bothered to publish the average GPAs of the three schools, I think this discussion would be moot. Sadly, like GS admissions statistics, they do not.

You&#039;re correct that the SAT/ACT information is not reported; however, due to the nature of the student body, some GS students undoubtedly took the SAT before it was recentered, some probably took it recently, after being out of high school for a number of years, and of course as the article mentions, some students take the GSAE, so a score report, while in some cases useful, wouldn&#039;t give as accurate a picture as a score report for a more traditional student body, whose students took basically the same test at roughly the same point in their lives. [[User:Hacker|Hacker]] 12:38, 28 March 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> == CC-GS Backdoor ==<br /> *I&#039;d like to flesh this out. Here&#039;s what it amounts to. GS undergraduates are granted access to the exact same education as CC undergrads (instruction in the liberal arts and sciences by Columbia&#039;s Faculty of Arts and Science), are given the exact same credentials (a BA from the trustees of Columbia university), but are admitted through a completely different and barely transparent process (as stated above.) So on the one hand, GS students are entitled to feel entirely the equal of their CC peers. On the other, CC students are entirely justified in feeling upset at GS&#039;s status- it&#039;s essentially dilution of what they were told was a restricted access commodity for which they fought through stiff competition to get access to- Columbia BA&#039;s. Nowhere does Columbia explain in its undergraduate recruitment literature that in reality there are an addition 300 students in the same program who didn&#039;t have to fend against 17000 other candidates to claim one of a 1000 seats. The confusion and outrage at this &quot;revelation&quot; that most CC students have a hard time grasping could easily be avoided if the University made the GS admissions process far more transparent (which may require making the requirements more stringent to avoid embarrassment and and even greater outrage- though this might result in a decline in admits, enrollments, and tuition dollars). As it stands General Studies IS ostensibly a backdoor to a Columbia BA. The charge can neither by proved nor disproved in the current situation, which only lends weight to the suspicion that it is. In general Columbia needs to re-think how its undergrads are organized. Of course Barnard doesn&#039;t help either... [[User:Absentminded|Absentminded]] 23:26, 27 March 2007 (EDT)<br /> : I agree. That&#039;s actually what I was trying to do in this article. My belief is that CU owes it to both GS and CC students to be more transparent about this information. GS and CC students shouldn&#039;t have to feel like their degree is somehow less valuable due to a backdoor existing. For example, how hard would it be to post the SAT/ACT median and interquartile range?
