Michael I. Sovern was the 17th President of Columbia University. Served previously as dean of Columbia Law School, where he had been a professor. Played a critical role in the immediate aftermath of the 1968 protest. Sold Rockefeller Center for $400 million, effectively creating Columbia's endowment (prior to the sale, due to the debt crisis of the 1970s, Columbia did not have a large cash portfolio of invested assets).
