Columbia is in crisis. For much of the last year, disruptive protests have replaced productive dialogue. Students don't talk to each other anymore, and many refuse to interrogate their own beliefs. The future path of one of the world's greatest intellectual centers is in question.The Columbia Sundial seeks to change this. Like the sundial at the center of the Morningside campus, we seek to serve as a meeting point and place for discussion and debate. We publish a monthly printed magazine of news and commentary, which is distributed freely on campus and in Morningside Heights, and we also publish an email newsletter and web edition. Our investigative and opinion journalism is rooted in the original purpose of a liberal arts education—to challenge readers with perspectives and ideas they haven't heard before, and to encourage healthy discourse among the university community.But we can't do this without your support—please consider making a donation today to support our work.Contributions are tax-deductible.
