email aliases = emails. At least from the recipient's POV.

Literally all email addresses are "aliases" which get assigned to different mail servers, as are all domain names "aliases" for IP addresses.

Proof of this is how you can switch them from one server to another without anyone knowing. So this is not a good point of discussion in this debate.

It's relevant to this conversation because it was brought up by an actual Barnard student as part of a list of reasons for why Barnard students are not quite Columbia students. In her words:

"Barnard students only get Barnard emails accounts and Columbia email aliases. The Columbia alias acts only as a forwarding address to forward to your Barnard email. Barnard students don’t actually have Columbia emails you can log into and send emails from. We used to, and Columbia students literally rallied to have them taken away from us (wtf). This means that when I send an email to a professor of a Columbia class I’m taking, my email address is marked as foreign because it’s from outside the Columbia domain. Professors get the same message when they email me. It’s a small thing but it’s alienating. Also, because we aren’t in the Columbia email domain if you type a Columbia student’s name in the “to” part of the email it doesn’t autocomplete their email address."

No this is wrong - technically wrong, the worst kind of wrong.

She should say "they use a different email server", which would be technically correct. But they all use aliases. And aliases can send just fine. And as you note, only someone also on that email server would know the difference.

Technically.

Ha ha! Barnard is more selective than Columbia. That is a new one.

Barnard is a backdoor, but GS is a even bigger backdoor which is 1/3 of comlumbia undergrad, so overall, Barnard might be more selective overall LOL

Totally F'ed up LOL

If you look up students regardless of their school (Barnard, Columbia College, GS, Engineering) they show up in Columbia UNIVERSITY’s directory

https://directory.columbia.edu/people/

This is more than enough proof that Barnard is Columbia

Referencing the previous post: all Barnard students receive a Columbia.edu email now……as a current student literally you can log into it, you can send emails from it - it is technically a different server but we do get one so clearly that information is outdated

Wrong: Columbia is Barnard

Barnard is an affiliated institution of Columbia. If you are a Barnard student or a Barnard grad and you say you’re from Columbia, you WILL be viewed as being dishonest. Or at least only partially honest. This is true when applying to jobs or positions in academia, at least.

Of course it’s dishonest. But Barnard turns daughters into wacko weirdos, so I don’t think the dishonest ones see much if any professional boost. And it seems sort of terrifying if you’re dishonestly passing yourself off as a genuine Columbia student when you could end up being interviewed by a genuine Columbia alum — who presumably can tease out you’re a pathological lying fraud in 30 seconds.

For the poster who keeps saying Barnard is part of Columbia because it's listed on the website. You're wrong. Scroll to the bottom of the page you linked: https://www.columbia.edu/content/academics/schools

You'll see that there are Schools and there are Affiliated Schools. Barnard is no more Columbia than Teacher's College or the Theological Seminary.

Who are these Barnard alums trying to pass themselves off as Columbia alums? We would never -- attend CU. Barnard, class of 98.

Barnard students ARE genuine Columba students, just like Columbia School of General Studies students are genuine Columbia students. There’s no lie to tease out.

If you find that “terrifying,” take it up with the Columbia administration.

Barnard students are instructed to put on their resume and LinkedIn the following: Barnard College of Columbia University or Barnard College, Columbia University by Barnard Career Services.

That page has 21 Columbia University Schools listed...you are a purveyor of fake news. Perhaps you are qualified to be President of the United States--or at least Columbia University.

Again for the 30th time on this thread, the actual degree says Columbia University, Barnard College. Think of it like Oxford that has many colleges in the University or like the State Schools at Cornell--they have their own admissions but end of the day the degree says Columbia just like it says Oxford and Cornell. What is odd is the obsession with this? For those complaining, pretty sure your kid did not get into a school with an 8 percent acceptance rate. Mind didn't either--he is at Cornell. Which actually overall is slightly higher than Barnard's.

No. Scroll to the bottom of the page where the directory of the school is listed by School, Affiliated School, etc. Believe it or not, the way a website lists this sort of information is intentional and reflects administrative and legal distinctions.
