[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barnard College is NOT = Columbia College

BUT

Barnard College = Columbia University

[/quote]

This.  Theories of formal logic notwithstanding, in this unique case, this is absolutely correct.  See, Columbia University Charter at Section 230 et seq.

OK, go ahead and tell everybody you went to Columbia, and don't breathe a word about your Barnard past. See what happens when they find out.

In this case, common sense wins the day.[/quote]

Sigh.  I didn't go to Barnard.  But this thread is really interesting because it seems to have drawn out some disproportionate passion.  So I called Columbia and asked if it would be unfair to simply use "Columbia" as short-hand (understanding that the formal resume text would be Barnard College of Columbia University).  Columbia said, sure, people do that, and Columbia certainly doesn't dispute that a Barnard degree is a Columbia degree (and a Barnard alum is an alum of Columbia University). [/quote]

You called Columbia???!!!   :shock:

A better use of your time might have been to call a hiring manager somewhere, and ask how they would feel if they found out their Columbia grad was actually a Barnard grad.  Would they feel they had been deceived, or would they be OK with it?
