In a statement issued yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bollinger said he canceled Mr. Ahmadinejad's invitation because he couldn't be certain it would "reflect the academic values that are the hallmark of a University event such as our World Leaders Forum." He told Ms. Anderson that Mr. Ahmadinejad could speak at the school of international and public affairs, just not as a part of the university-wide leader's forum. he couldn't be certain ???
You mean he couldn't figure it out?

Well, the dean is female, so if he actually asserted himself, she would have the opportunity to instantly proclaim herself oppressed in NYC.
I'm ashamed that this 'university' was once King's College, another colonial Anglican educational foundation. But the stain developed after we left, the university was disestablished during the Revolutionary War. Still, every time I see some nonsense pop up, it stings.
