I missed this one until catching up with Roger Kimball’s website, Roger’s Rules, this morning. It seems the Iran news agency is reporting that a group of professors from Columbia will be winging to Tehran to apologize to Ahmadinejad:

An academic delegation of Columbia University professors and deans of faculties plans to visit Tehran to officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
The delegation plans to express regret for the insulting remarks Columbia University President Lee Bollinger directed at Ahmadinejad on September 24 in his introductory speech, the Mehr News Agency correspondent in New York reported.
Since the incident, the deans and professors from the faculties of history, anthropology, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, and Islamic studies have criticized Bollinger’s behavior toward Ahmadinejad.

Let me take this opportunity, then, to apologize to the American people for Columbia University.
