David Horowitz, CC '59, an American conservative writer and activist. He wrote a book called The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, listing nine Columbia professors, more than at any other university. The list comprised of Lisa Anderson, Gil Anidjar, Hamid Dabashi, Nicholas de Genova, Eric Foner, Todd Gitlin, Manning Marable, Joseph Massad, Victor Navasky.
Horowitz has planned an Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, to be held at multiple campuses, including Columbia. In response to critics at Columbia, he recently wrote a column for the Columbia Spectator[1].
