Here is what I propose. Sign your name on this wiki entry in the list below if you would also be interested.
There are no set goals at this point. Just an initial evaluation of interest. There is a discussion below about what goals to pursue.
My own goals are the following, but you do not need to agree with any of them to sign: (1) lower tuition if possible (and I am nearly 100% sure it is possible), (2) move to some kind of pass/fail system, (3) be honest with the student body and especially admitted students and potential applicants that Columbia may not be an easy ticket to a $160,000 job anymore. Potential students especially need honest information in order to make a decision of whether or not to apply to Columbia; a good start would be to update the employment statistics on the website that still reflect the numbers from the class of 2008.
