A news flash from Columbia's 250th Commencement ceremonies:
During President Lee Bollinger's commencement address, he was interrupted by an animal rights protestor, who rushed to the podium, took control of the mic, and proceeded to inform the parents of Columbia University's needless torture of animals. Being the advocate of free speech that he is, Bollinger allowed the man to continue. Security was no where to be found. In fact none of the people sitting around Bollinger did anything, until Columbia Trustee and NBA Commissioner David Stern got up and wrestled the man away. Does that mean that Stern is suspended for the next two graduations for leaving the bench during a brawl?
No animals nor Jeff Van Gundys were hurt during the incident.
