Columbia has a Board of Trustees. However, if you saw the members, you would realize that for the most part, they are a bunch of left wingers. As for Lee Bollinger, he has been president of Columbia for a couple of years. Prior to that, he was president of the Univ. of Mich. - the school with the law school affirmative action case before the US Supreme Court.

As for Columbia firing this guy, money talks. The only way he goes is if they lose out on Federal funds, or high roller alumni donators send a clear message. Otherwise, Bollinger will sit tight. Hell, he probably agrees with De Genova.

I graduated from their Graduate School of Business in 1967. I stopped donating in the early 70s because my business school donations were being re-directed to liberal arts and other schools that could not pay their own way. At that time, the dean of the B-school resigned in protest of how the university was taking away B-school donations.
