		Bollinger argued that affirmative action was not just one way to make sure minority students get an education, but also the only way to achieve the true end of education: diversity.
		It is on this point that Bollinger has staked the life of affirmative action: that education without a racially diverse student body isn't education at all, and, further, that a system of discrimination based on racial preferences is the only means to achieving a racially diverse student body.

	Lee Bollinger Joins Ranks of Harvard Rejectees on Campus
		His confidence clearly shaken, Bollinger was accompanied on the podium by his wife and his parents, who continuously consoled him throughout the conference, assuring him that he was "still smart," and that a lot of it is "just luck" for schools like that.
		Although the letter Bollinger received on Wednesday was not read aloud at the conference, members of the press obtained copies of the rejection, printed on elegant Harvard stationary, which thanks Bollinger for his interest, but cites the overwhelming number of impressive candidates they consider every year and the limited number of presidential spots.
		Bollinger's family struggled to ease the distraught president off the podium, only succeeding when his wife promised to take him home to change into his favorite PJ's, drink a nice cup of hot chocolate, and throw several copies Carl Cohen's affirmative action book into the fireplace.

	Columbia President Lee Bollinger / Assistant Professor Nicholas DeGenova
		While Bollinger mildly chided DeGenova, saying he was “shocked” by the comments (given DeGenova’s history, shocked is probably the last thing he should have been) and that “this one crosses the line,” he has stated he will not fire the nutty professor.
		Maybe Bollinger can explain exactly what is “academic” about wanting to see a bunch of young Americans slaughtered in battle and equating the flag and overt acts of patriotism with white supremacy.
		Bollinger’s final cop-out is that DeGenova’s comment weren’t made in a classroom, but at a teach-in, which is “not an authorized or officially sanctioned classroom experience.” But if DeGenova had called for, let’s say, a million Oklahoma Cities at a KKK rally, I’m sure my letter would not have been necessary, and rightly so.

	Critical Mass - Lee Bollinger has balls
		But if nothing else, not-right-wing Bollinger staked out a position of absolute moral clarity: he discarded the murky moral relativity of the academic left, and actually passed judgement on a tyrant and his oppressive government.
		Nor can Bollinger be blind to the possibility that A'jad has certain friends who might issue a fatwa or two calling for the elimination of him as an enemy of Islam (remember Salman Rushdie?).
		What remains to be seen is if Bollinger will continue to be an outspoken advocate and critic of real tyranny, or whether he'll retreat to the shadows and equivocate, or say nothing more.
