Lee C. Bollinger
Lee Caroll Bollinger (B.A. Oregon '68, J.D. Columbia Law School '71) is the president of the university. He is affectionately known as PrezBo, a term coined in the Varsity Show.
Once, 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.
PrezBo also promotes physical fitness, inaugurating the Columbia 5K Fun Run in 2001. The event, which occurs in September every fall, features free t-shirts and is led by PrezBo himself.
