Barnard’s faculty and staff claim they were shut out of the decision-making process for the new library, which faculty say also led to the resignation of the Dean of Barnard Library and Information Services Lisa Norberg.
Several faculty members say that Norberg is not alone in her dissatisfaction with the administration’s decisions, noting that their three main areas of concern have to do with reducing the library’s collection from 200,000 to 160,000 books, minimizing the space of the library in the new building, and a lack of transparency in the planning process.
The new facility will house a library, labs, classrooms, and a cafe, as well as new study, dining, and conference spaces.
