Read the chain. They are supposed to say that but I think we are all stipulating that it should be phrased as Barnard College, Columbia University or Barnard College of Columbia University. |
Which one cheats at the US News reports? |
It's not cheating when you disclose. It was Columbia that called out how ridiculous US News ranking is. |
No, it was a professor who noted how misleading Columbia's responses were. |
It was a Columbia tool who did what he was told to do masquerading an opinion piece as a serious academic study that was self-published in a website run by Columbia. |
The inference is that Barnard isn't referenced on the resume at all. But Columbia is. Duh. |
Who cares. |
What no one is talking about is that there are good reasons to want a Columbia University education but not want to attend Columbia College with its highly structured and highly restrictive core curriculum. Women at Columbia have a choice. Barnard has distribution requirements but students can choose from hundreds of courses to fulfill those requirements. Barnard women can choose a major at Columbia. They can choose electives. So, why is such a student unable to claim a Columbia University as though she spent 4 years exclusively on a campus across the street, only viewing Columbia from afar? Perhaps listing Columbia on her resume best represents her undergraduate experience even if that meets the disapproval of watchful eyes on this forum.
Perhaps some find it simpler when asked to list their college to simply say Columbia - one word rather than the mouthful “Barnard College of .Columbia University”, which would then invite the inevitable questions to explain. Students at NYU have the choice of listing Stern or Tisch if either was their undergraduate college, or they can simply say NYU if they prefer. Depending on her preference, a Barnard graduate has the same choice of legitimate answers. |
Obviously the OP. And a number of other posters here. |
Weird fixation. |
Diversity is in Columbia's blood. It's not just a legalese they say to satisfy some government regulations. Barnard just adds to their commitment to diversity. No DCUM postings gonna change the course of Columbia University. Harvard may think it's at the center of the universe. Columbia doesn't give a hoot about who is at the center of the universe. Columbia does what it wants to do. |
I honestly don't think Columbia has the brand power or name rec to really matter all that much in a job hunt or headhunter situation. Harvard college vs. some dipsh*t weirdo fraud from some extension school scam program... yes, a big deal. Barnard to Columbia... like what hypothetical job do you think anyone is tripping over themselves to give to a Columbia grad? All the premier Wall Street jobs are given to kids at 20 and 21 years old, it's not really something you randomly segue into later in life.
Maybe in New York City? But if you're in or near NYC people are far more likely to sniff out your misrepresentation. The further you are from NYC, the less likely anyone will ever know the diff between Barnard and Columbia... but frankly, also less likely anyone gives a damn you went to Columbia. |
It's weird why you care so much about a degree you don't own. |
Hahaha. Winner. |
Misrepresentation??? LOL. |
