==Controversy==
Columbia came under fire from conservatives and free speech activists when [[Minutemen Project]] founder [[Jim Gilchrist]] and Minuteman Marvin Stewart were attacked by a crowd of student protestors while attempting to give a speech at the school, forcing them to abandon their speech. <ref>http://www.nysun.com/article/41020?page_no=2</ref> "They have no right to speak here", said one student.
[[Iranian]] president [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]], who had called for the destruction of the nation of [[Israel]] and called for the execution of homosexuals, was luckier than Gilchrist and Stewart. He was allowed to speak at Columbia on September 26, 2007. <ref>http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/09/26/ahmadinejad.columbia/index.html</ref>
