Thank you, fellow Seeples, for trusting us with your most difficult problems. The Morningside Post is here to help with our best solutions.
During campaign week, The Morningside Post interviewed the SIPASA candidates for insight on why they want to lead our vibrant SIPA community. All candidates were invited to submit 2-3 sentence answers to each question. Then, on Thursday, November 20, candidates gathered for SIPASA Debate Night 2025 to share their visions for SIPA. We’ve compiled these into one complete SIPASA 2026 Elections Voter Guide.

On September 2, Columbia professors gathered at the University’s main gates for “Speak Out 2.0,” a faculty-led protest warning against encroachments on academic freedom. The demonstration followed Columbia’s agreement with the Trump administration to restructure faculty governance and pay $221 million in settlements.
Over 25 hours, students, faculty, and staff from across Columbia University stood united at the gates of 117th and Broadway in a show of resistance against what they called federal overreach and university inaction. Organized by faculty, the “Speak Out” brought impassioned testimony, urgent calls to protect student safety, and a defense of academic freedom.
Beneath the beautifully designed posters lining IAB lies a hard truth: aesthetic politics can’t compensate for the limited power of student governance, nor solve the real policy shocks students are now facing.
