Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

The eyes of the world gazed upon Columbia in September when the University invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak at the World Leaders Forum, the weeklong speakers series which Bollinger launched in his first year at Columbia to capitalize on the University’s access to the United Nations.

After heated debate over Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s appearance, rumors that a group of Columbia faculty would visit Iran to apologize for University President Lee Bollinger’s remarks incited confusion both on and off campus.
