[quote=Anonymous]Columbia and Barnard since about 1969 have a longstanding arrangement of integrated but separate. Shared many facilities and full use by each side ( eg libraries, cross-listed and shared classes, and sports in the Ivy League Conference for Barnard women).  Barnard has its own separate identity and did not want to merge with Columbia after 1969, unlike Radcliffe merging with Harvard and Pembroke merging with Brown.

Columbia deliberately delayed going coed on its own precisely to protect Barnard because Columbia feared that if it went coed ed without Barnard that admissions to Barnard would be harmed. Fortunately, to everyone's relief that never happened and Barnard has thrived having the best of both  - a single women's college as it always wanted to maintain, and full access to all things at Columbia.

This arrangement with Columbia has worked out very well, and things have worked out well from Barnard's clear decision not to merge with Columbia. Everyone is happy, and the arrangement is strong and natural. [/quote]
