Ivy League schools are dignified

Until one of them gets a plum that another thinks it should have and then watch the fur fly. Seems that Barnard College is getting President Obama as their commencement speaker. Big brother Columbia is upset and some are throwing an academic hissy fit because of it.
Since the president’s address was announced on Saturday, students have deluged popular forums — notably the Web sites of The Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper, and Bwog, a student-run blog — with hundreds of anonymous comments, which range from gracious acceptance to gratuitous venom.

To sum up: Either Barnard College is academically inferior to Columbia, or those who say so are misguided or misogynist; either Mr. Obama has snubbed Columbia, or this is great news and everyone in Morningside Heights should revel in it.
Bitch fight in Morningside Heights!
