On Friday, Spectator sat down with University President Lee Bollinger. You've heard what he had to say about GS Class Day; here are some more highlights from the interview:
Faculty members at the School of Engineering and Applied Science have expressed extreme dissatisfaction with SEAS Dean Feniosky Peña-Mora, continuing to call for his resignation despite the development of structural changes intended to alleviate their concerns. Bollinger acknowledged the problems, saying, “I know there are controversies, and we’ve been talking to Feni, and we’ve been talking to chairs and faculty and alumni.”
Bollinger told Spectator last semester that it was possible Columbia would reverse its no-loan financial aid policy, as was suggested in McKinsey and Company’s report on the Arts and Sciences last summer. But now, Bollinger said, a reversal of this policy is “not being actively considered.”
