Campus Pilgrims Pay Homage to the Terror Masters by Martin Solomon
On January 9th of this year, an Iranian news agency reported that a group of Columbia University “professors and deans of faculties” had made plans to travel to the Islamic Republic to “officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad” in person. Ahmadinejad, it will be remembered, had visited the university by invitation a few months earlier and against all expectations had received a forthright introduction by President Lee Bollinger. So forthright, in fact, that a group of professors began circulating a petition decrying Bollinger’s behavior as “not only uncivil and bad pedagogy, [but his remarks] allied the University with the Bush administration’s war in Iraq.” Horror.
