Dear Members of the Barnard Community,
Beginning at 8 p.m. tonight, every person entering the Barnard campus will be asked to swipe their CUID for entry. This means that those with CUIDs are no longer able to bring their guests into the gates with them. Visitors seeking to attend events will be allowed entry only if the visitor is on a pre-approved RSVP list.
Access to the Barnard campus will continue to be swipe access and limited to CUID card holders only, with entry at the Barnard main gate, 117th and Broadway or Claremont and 119th Street. The Barnard gate at 119th Street and Broadway will remain closed and swipe access for entry to the Milstein Building on Claremont Avenue is not active at this time. The Milbank Hall entrance on 120th Street is also not active for entry at this time.
Please keep your CUID with you during this time, and please be attentive when you swipe into buildings. Our safety colleagues will be asking every person to swipe their IDs, and we ask you to support them in these efforts by not allowing people to enter buildings with you without swiping their CUID.
These measures are being put in place out of an abundance of caution based on information received about increased protest activity and large gatherings to occur near campus beginning Thursday evening.
We recognize the limited access is an inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Sincerely,
Sarah Gillman
Senior Vice President, Strategic Finance and Operations
