Columbia University is expected to be the scene today of speeches, rallies and protests related to a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, which is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The school’s campus in Morningside Heights has been all but closed to the public; a university identification is required to enter through the main gates on Broadway at 116th Street. Several reporters, including Helene Cooper, who covers foreign affairs, and Karen W. Arenson, who covers higher education, are in attendance, and this blog will be providing updates about the scene throughout the day.
