It would be amazing if someone could prove that professors at Columbia University don't get federal and other government funds. Columbia has science and medical departments and other research goes on throughout the university. None without government support? No NIH grants? No social science grants? No New York State grants? No New York City grants?
The Left screams "bias" when it serves their purposes. When they are the perpetrators of bias, they quickly yell "intellectural freedom, intellectual freedom."
Let's not forget that this university-and its subsidiary parts-rely to a great extent on the munificence of the city for tax and regulatory benefits.
Yet, its president does not even deign to give a proper response to public officials, activists, and matriculating students who criticize its lackluster performance in the arena of protecting freedom of expression, which-presumably-should be one of the main priorities of a post-secondary academic institution!
Forget about this so-called scholar's gross misreading of the "due process" clause; he wants to permanently suspend the First Amendment, at least, within the halls of academe.
This charlatan Bollinger was one of the most ardent advocates of a speech code that would ultimately be ruled unconstitutional in a court of law. In fact, he was a vociferous supporter of this constitutional monstrosity even AFTER it had been deep-sixed by the judiciary.
If anyone expects to receive justice from this cretin, they are sorely mistaken.
