America
Obama to return to Columbia University after presidency
Washington, Sep 1
The Columbia University said
US President Barack Obama will return to his alma mater after leaving
office in 2017, a media report said.
During an event on Monday,
Lee Bollinger, president of the university, said Columbia was looking
forward to hosting the president, Xinhua quoted reported citing the
official student newspaper Columbia Daily Spectator.
However, Bollinger did not provide further details about what sort of role Obama, a 1983 graduate, would have on the campus.
The
relations between Obama and Columbia University was tested earlier this
year after Columbia University lost to the University of Chicago in its
bid to house Obama's presidential library and museum.
Obama taught law at the University of Chicago before being elected to the Senate in 2004.
