UM: Lee Bollinger

The Wall Street Journal reports that Donald Trump is unhappy with former UM president Lee Bollinger over a land deal that Bollinger rejected. The report quotes a letter that Trump sent to the Columbia Spectator’s Eye magazine: “The new President of Columbia, Lee Bollinger, who came in from the University of Michigan, didn’t like the idea. Instead, he wanted to build Columbia’s new buildings in a lousy location on land which, in certain instances, he did not even own. Once the project was announced, it became virtually impossible to acquire the holdings because everybody wanted top dollar. He actually announced his project before buying the land – dummy!” [Source]
