		<description><![CDATA[The CJI project is about providing social services to the families of inmates and to former inmates who have been released from prison.  Those are worthy goals.  They will reduce recidivism and improve public safety.

The CJI faculty listed in this article are adjuncts at Columbia.  They have full-time jobs at social services organizations that serve the needs of former inmates.  Most of their work at Columbia entails supervising the fieldwork of social work students at those organizations.

Yes, Kathy Boudin committed a serious crime.  She served her sentence and actually reformed while behind bars.  There&#039;s no reason she should be excluded from a job if she&#039;s qualified to do it.  Boudin earned a master&#039;s degree while in custody and a Ph.D. after her release.  She is a highly respected expert in her field, and may be the most qualified person on the planet to hold the position Columbia hired her for.  Unless you believe felons who have paid their debt to society should never be given a second chance, there is no reason to fault Columbia for hiring her.

I don&#039;t know about the other three CJI faculty listed above, but there is surely more to their stories than this article lets on.

If Jamal Joseph&#039;s reasons for joining the Black Panthers sound childish, it&#039;s because he was a child at the time.  He was just 14 when he joined.  Like Boudin, he reformed his ways while in prison.  He completed his undergraduate and masters degrees behind bars, where he also wrote two volumes of poetry and five plays, and learned the art of filmmaking.  He has had a distinguished career since his release, and was nominated for an Oscar in 2008 (best original song for, &quot;Raise it Up&quot;, from the film &quot;August Rush&quot;).  Many graduates of Columbia&#039;s film program hail him as the most inspiring teacher they have ever had.  And he spends much of his spare time volunteering for a an organization he founded that steers inner-city youths away from crime.

		<description><![CDATA[In highschool I knew people who dressed liked the actors they saw in Menance II Society or the rap videos on MTV, by the way who were ballet dancers in real life. (http://d35216zurzg3az.cloudfront.net/pictures/2051bd70fc110a2208bdbd4a743e7f79.jpg) I learned right away people will do anything to mask their insecurity and use as little thought as possible to accomplish it.

We see the same from the behavior of the trust fund heirs and board of donors at Columbia. They delusionally mimic people they think are dangerous, like a kid dressing up as a cowboy in the 1950s. 



How pathetic. Modern day tuition is so much like the housing bubble from five years ago. Overleveraged with superficial quality in everything but their objectives, like education and research, which iteself is rotten to the core.]]></description>
