Boudin was hired as an adjunct proffessor by Columbia in 2008, so why the sudden outrage? Must be a very slow news day.

Timely reporting!!

The Washington Times April 2, 2013

Kathy Boudin, an ex-Weather Underground radical who spent time in prison for a dramatic armed-car robbery that left two police officers and security guard dead, has a new gig: adjunct professor at Columbia University.

She’s going to be teaching specifically in the university’s School of Social Work, the New York Post reports.

The New York Post

"Columbia School of Social Work Associate Dean Marianne Yoshioka hired Boudin as an adjunct in 2008. According to the Post, Yoshioka called the convicted murderer “an excellent teacher who gets incredible evaluations from her students each year"

"Of the hundreds of students Boudin has taught, Yoshioka said, just three have expressed qualms about her criminal background, and only one “switched out” of a class because of those concerns."
