Bloggerheads is a feature in which some of our writers sit down to debate or discuss an important issue at Columbia, or THE important issue at Columbia:
Derek: Alright, so apparently Obama is speaking at Barnard commencement.
Caroline: Baller!
DT: Yes, but for whom?
CB: Everyone Derek, especially Women of America, and of course, Barnardians. Although I would say its great for the entire Columbia Community as well...
DT: Well let me share my two reactions:
1) Barnard? Why not CC?
2) How much of this is politics?
I don't want to discourage Barnard—I mean I'm its number one fan. I think it has structural benefits that CC doesn't. But it just seems a little unusual.
CB: To which I will respond that I disagree---it doesn't seem unusual at all---by addressing your two fine questions.
