Candace de Russy notes at Phi Beta Cons that Columbia has dropped a course from its list of Spring offerings that would have been devoted to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Apparently, this was proposed, and would have been taught by, an enthusiastic supporter of OWS. What’s the annual tuition at Columbia? It’s an Ivy League school, right?
With Candace, I’m glad that this “course” has been axed. But I’m still marveling that it was ever allowed to fly in the first place.
