This is actually an interesting discussion. Does a well respected institution like Columbia provide a stage for a person of this ilk? And if they do so, is the institution harmed by the practice?

Many of us questioned the reasoning behind providing a pulpit for this individual.

Clearly, the University had carefully laid plans for this dictator and the pulpit was designed to call him out.

Crafty indeed.
