Columbia administrators, professors, and students pride themselves on pushing the envelope.
The university employed an openly incestuous professor (also a former Huffpost writer), fought against bringing the "racist" ROTC program on campus, and hosted Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the holocaust denying President of Iran, for a speaking engagement on campus.
It comes as no surprise that The Daily Caller and CBS New York are reporting that Columbia is now offering course credit for attending the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protests.
The course will be taught by veteran leftist Dr. Hannah Appel of the Anthropology Department, who has attended OWS demonstrations in both the New York and Oakland. Appel makes no effort to hide her left-wing sensibilities.
