Columbia University’s 19th president, Lee Bollinger, has stated publicly that the University is 100% supportive of Castro’s communistic ideology. “We must learn to embrace the socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes, money, and the state,” said Bollinger in an interview with Katty Kay of BBC World News America.
When pressed as to how the University will receive and review anti-Castro Cuban-American applicants, Bollinger boldly stated “Good Luck! Will we take seriously their applications? Fat chance! Regardless of how talented and amazing their application packet is, we will summarily deny their application.” Shortly after the comment, Bollinger uttered, “that last statement was off the record correct?”
