Lee Caroll Bollinger Law '71 is the president of the university. He is affectionately known as PrezBo (alt. spelling Prezbo), a term coined by the Varsity Show.
Bollinger came to Columbia after serving as president of the University of Michigan, where he did now unthinkable things like host house parties for students. Once, in his spare time, he did something important involving law and affirmative action. Now, he mostly teaches undergrads how to behave like law students.
He is rarely, if ever, seen walking to and from his official residence at 116th and Morningside Drive. Rumor (though confirmed by many who have actually seen it) has it he is driven the 1.5 blocks from his office in Low Library.
He is recognizable for his wispy hair, trim physique, and vague, tepid statements about everything and everyone except perhaps Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
PrezBo also promotes physical fitness, inaugurating the 5K Fun Run. The event, which occurs in September every fall, features free t-shirts and is led by PrezBo himself.
He loves the word "global" and uses it about five times in each sentence.
His favorite TV shows are Mad Men, Saturday Night Live, the Wire, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He has gone hiking in an area densely populated with grizzly bears to test his endurance. He is the most interesting man in the world.
