Columbia Faculty have their feelings hurt

President Bollinger, of Columbia, is receiving a Larry Summers style wagging finger from his faculty. Why? Apparently because his comments made when introducing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad earlier this semester were too mean. Liberal faculty members are very selective in who should, ideologically, get the living crap rhetorically beaten out of them, and who should be coddled. Oddly enough, it correlates well with people who share their own ideologies, and they tend to want a beat down on the person when their views are orthogonal. Can I say again how glad I am I'm not in the humanities anymore?
