Grayson Kirk had the misfortune of being University President during the 1968 protests. The community hated him because... well they really just hated Columbia, and he was just a stand in for the institution. The students hated him because... well they hated establishment authority figures- it was the 60's after all. The faculty hated him because the university grossly underpaid its employees in relation to peer institutions during his tenure.
Kirk is perhaps indirectly responsible for decades of alumni apathy (including, at one point, the serious thought of closing the school due to a lack of funding) and the affirmation of the university as a left-wing jihadist institution, much like the University of Havana.
What, no mention of the harebrained The Strickland Filter.
