- Extended interviews about major issues at Columbia.
- "News you might have missed," recapping, explaining, and analyzing the best coverage of big stories
Opinion

Campus

Humor
- Politics should be fun. We give you heavy doses of the Daily Show, Colbert, and other political humor.
About political bias:
CubPub will uphold the non-partisan identity and mission of its sponsor, the Columbia Political Union. However, this affiliation will not entail the absence of opinions in the content of this website. In tandem with our sponsor, we hope CubPub will help promote a diversity of opinion by fostering a safe space for discussion.
Any opinion on the website does not reflect official positions of the CPU. Just as CPU hosts partisan figures at its events to incite discussion, opinions on the blog can validly serve the same purpose. Moreover, while opinions can come from guest columnists and official staff, all opinions are expressed in the individual capacities of each writer, much like when the Columbia Political Review, another CPU publication, prints opinionated content, or when an invited speaker at CPU events shares partisan views.
As we welcome opinion, CPU's non-partisan mission requires us to welcome all opinions, and work against the impression of one-sidedness. Toward this end, the staff and guest authors are encouraged to represent and consider opposing views even as they may disagree with them.
multi-partisan
Isn't it multi-partisan instead of non-partisan?
Wikipedia says
as long as "the participants do not declare or do not formally have a political party affiliation," you can consider it non-partisan. Likewise, none of us are speaking on behalf of any particular party, so I think you could still consider CubPub non-partisan. This isn't an official CubPub explanation though. Just my two cents on the matter.
It is really interesting and
It is really interesting and I am sure that other people thinks this too.
