Whatever Happened to Columbia's Nicholas DeGenova?

[get'emall]

Does anyone have an update on the Columbia prof who wished for a million Mogadishus? Is he still there teaching?

Didn't know how to approach asking this question on a post. If I get flamed I'll understand

[cyborg]

Good question. I hope he's apologizing to the widows/families of soldiers who have since died in at least three four five 'mogadishus'. Somehow I doubt it.

[hawk1]

Probably was promoted.

[SandRat]

Nah, ... he's shilling for Moore's next book to be used as a college Poli-Sci text.

I hope he's under six feet of dirt.

[sistergoldenhair]

Probably was promoted.

You appear to be correct.
He was referred to as "assistant professor".
He is now listed as "professor".

I sent an email to Columbia to express my dismay when I first heard about his remarks. I received the standard, "We support Mr. DeGenovawhatever's right to free speech, blah blah blah . . .", so I imagine he's still being protected by the university.

[get'emall]

Ah... so he WAS promoted. Good to know. I hope we can keep track of this guy.

Here is a prediction that the Assistant Professor will eventually be denied tenure....but not right now. Article by Congressional Representative J. D. Hayworth, Republican from Arizona quotes DeGeneratis HERE

Daniel Pipes can be read as well.

I wouldn't be too upset...this AH screwed himself and embarassed the University ...and probably cost them money and will continue to cost them money as long as people like you keep the staements of this clown alive.

[sistergoldenhair]

I hope we can keep track of this guy.

He won't be hard to find.
Self important, pompous scum take every opportunity to promote their agenda.

[Missouri]

He's been busy trying to erase our borders.

PRO-IMMIGRATION PROF. WISHES FOR 'MILLION MOGADISHUS'

According to National Review Online, "Last Wednesday, Columbia University assistant professor Nicholas DeGenova told the audience at a faculty-led antiwar teach-in that he wished 'for a million Mogadishus' to visit U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq." According to the Columbia University biography of DeGenova, his teaching focuses on "transnational urban conjunctural spaces that link the U.S. and Latin America as a standpoint of critique from which to interrogate U.S. nationalism, political economy, racialized citizenship, and immigration law." DeGenova has appeared at several open-borders conferences as a panelist and his writing has been highly critical of immigration enforcement. He is also scheduled to speak at a Brecht Forum event April 3. The discussion, titled "The New Internments" focuses on detention of illegal aliens under the NSEERS program. The Brecht Forum says, "In the hysteria that the Bush administration has continued to foment for over a year in its push for the continued militarization of the globe, a gutted constitution, and a ghoulish vision of endless war, immigrants in the U.S. have been ‘disappeared’ and deported at alarming rates."

I watched "Blackhawk Down" the other day. I would bet there are some Rangers and Delta guys who would like to meet up with him.

I just did a search at the Columbia web site and didn't turn up anything. But that may not mean anything. What department was he in?

As for his being called Professor, that could just be the generic term rather than an indication that he is now a full professor, which is unlikely. The next step up from Assistant Professor, usually granted with tenure, is Associate Professor.

[Verginius Rufus]

According to the department's home page, he is still an assistant professor (www.columbia.edu/cu/anthropology).
