PrezBo spotted in 555 Lerner, discussing with student representatives his reasons for allowing Ahmadinejad to speak. Also, hot tipper Jon Berliner stumbled across an extra ticket on Craigslist. Look out for more scalping over the weekend.

Take that.

If ever there were a “hot seat” upon which a major university president could sit, it would undoubtedly be between Harvard law professor Lani Guinier and NAACP legal defense fund head Ted Shaw. As two of the country’s top civil right’s scholars, and as two people profoundly troubled by, and conversant in, the state of […]

Looks like our favorite ex-U of M president has taken a Midwestern rivalry to a new level--PrezBo is set to join the Washington Post Company’s Board of Directors on May 10, where he will govern the company with 11 others.  Word has it that Bollinger was nominated because of the help he could give Post […]

Low press briefings, Bwog is aware, are typically not very interesting. This one didn’t disappoint–PrezBo took a few softball questions from a few journalists in his low, almost subsonic tones–but we did get to meet Mr. Kluge himself, a charming old man whose death will bring the University more money than we can really comprehend. […]

Can’t you just drink beforehand, THEN sit on Low Steps? It’s the same basic result. Anticipating getting “shafted” by McBain… …Yet despair not! A SIPA Conference on Africa – can’t think of a joke to put here And, from the annals of history, the Michigan Daily presents: Chill Bollinger. “I sat on Lee Bollinger’s bed […]

The Times is a bit behind the times, but hey, at least it proves we’re not the only disappointed ones.  That’s ok though, because PrezBo just became a board member of the Times’ main rival, joining such blue-chip luminaries as Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett (this coming after being appointed to the board of the […]

We like to keep track of the buzz on our bwogroll, and Six Silberman over at fiveplusone just gave us some good morning brain fodder: a Theory of the Bollinger in Manhattanville, attempting to explain the singularity of purpose with which he’s pursued building up north. In a nutshell, Six says that the plan for […]

Yeah, we’re Establishment now… fuck. Quite possibly better news than Chipotle Alternatively, we could hire chauffeurs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA we love Ben Grosghal. And a little from the outside world… Bollinger dishes to Observer, avoids Biden fumble Gothamist on wheatpaste CUCRs one-upped by the NYU Republicans

Good-for-nothin’ vermin! Gatherin’ round the campfire with Uncle PresBo New pass/fail policy finally wrangled Administration: the snake in yer boot The Superbowl: bigger tradition than last year’s hoedown  

Girls discuss sexist ageism, M. Cheney talks about forthcoming bundle of joy (Today’s New York Times has great coverage of the fem-fest here) Prez Bo: Columbia has a new…wife? There are five gazillion books in Butler (Could it be more impressive than the iPhone?) Staff to Columbia, re: M’ville: Please don’t embarrass yourself again A […]

Welcome to February! And Black History Month! Columbia’s 22nd annual celebration of African Americanness kicked off last night in Roone Arledge with, among other attractions, the best catering this Bwog reporter has smelled at a Columbia event. People of many shades attended the affair, made more festive and vaguely African by gold kente cloths on […]

Nussbaum certainly doesn’t “Wu” Subway savior can find like-minded saviors outside Tom’s Probably no Bollinger Halls in our future. Renaming Hamilton goes to highest bidder. Offers of int’l internships in many fields (in addition to finance) – and students still cry “Finaaaannccee” Staff agrees: Creative writing major = “Ehh” Why can’t we all just … […]

Prezbo’s December 22nd school-wide statement on “Free Speech Issues” (which managed to cover several issues, in one glorious 1,156-word e-mail) did not go over well with the kids whom it mainly addressed. Yesterday at around noon, SGB President Sakib Khan responded, in a missive half the size but with at least as much punch: Khan […]

Yeah, we know it’s a little late, but there’s still time to mark the occasion: today was Martin Luther King Day, the actual reason you don’t have to start classes until tomorrow. For Prezbo, the day was perhaps a little more bittersweet. In a statement issued on Friday, he acknowledged the failure of quite a […]
