Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin — who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard — now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, The Post has learned.

Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.”

Of the hundreds of students Boudin has taught, Yoshioka said, just three have expressed qualms about her criminal background,

"...Of the hundreds of students Boudin has taught, Yoshioka said, just three have expressed qualms about her criminal background..."

Tells you all you need to know about the college, and about the quality of people who go there.

Shouldn't surprise anyone.

Bill Ayers, Marion Barry, Reverend Wright, Al Sharpton, etc. Obama could have committed armed robbery and the leftist sheep would have voted for him. Especially those in NYC.

professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work

What does she teach there -- Social UNREST with Bombs 101???

Socialist WORK it should be called...

I do have a friend who is a social worker... she loves doing the job -- protecting kids, but she hates the people running the office and losers (the so-called parents)

I worked with a guy who graduated from CCNY. He was sent to do campus recruiting in NYC, at CCNY and Columbia. His reaction, "Why would ever pay that kind of money to send your kid to Columbia?" One of the "stars" of our company was a guy who made the cursus honorum of Stuyvesant HS, CCNY engineering and grad school at Columbia. The Manhattan Project got its name because the original work on the Atomic Bomb began with emigre physicists at Columbia. How a once great institution has besoiled itself is lamentable.

“Prestiguous adjuct professor”?

I thought the adjuncts were paid $8 an hour to do the grunt work of teaching the beginner classes.

You may want to warn her that Columbia is producing a fresh batch of murderers to send vulnerable children to their deaths. That's pretty much the only outcome of being taught by a murderer.

Columbia must be soooooo proud. I’m sure they’rd take Timothy McVeigh if he was still around... Sleezebags are sleezebags, right?

The whereabouts of POTUS Barry at the time of this Brinks robbery/murder are unclear, IIRC...
