Why doesn't Columbia just "buy out" Barnard?

<p>Barnard isn’t a subset of Columbia on facebook; they simply don’t exist. You can list Barnard College under your education info, but not as a network. Of course, facebook has been trying to phase out networks for the last 2 years, so this isn’t terribly surprising. Most people on campus don’t care much about the facebook networks issue (though it’s come up in the past); it’s really swipe-access that causes the most headaches!</p>
