Columbia Professor Punches Girl in Face, BOO!
Associate professor Lionel McIntyre of Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation gave a female colleague a black eye at a bar on Sunday. According to the New York Post:
The professor, who is black, had been engaged in a fiery discussion about “white privilege” with Davis, who is white, and another male regular, who is also white, Friday night at 10:30 when fists started flying, patrons said…
“The punch was so loud, the kitchen workers in the back heard it over all the noise,” bar back Richie Velez, 28, told The Post. “I was on my way over when he punched Camille and she fell on top of me.”
Just when Morningside Heights was starting to look moderately safe, the Columbia faculty is gonna start race wars?
(ASIDE: Smarties who clicked through the link above now know that there were shots fired in Morningside Heights in July. But it’s fine. Our Ivy undergrads weren’t present to catch the bullets. That’s for international summer school students.)
Details of McIntyre’s regrets and the victim’s black eye after the jump.
Anyways, the victim, Camille Davis who works as a production manager in the theater department at the Columbia School of Art, initially didn’t report the beating out of fear. After meeting up with a friend who noticed her shut-eye shiner, they hustled to the precinct to file the report.
McIntyre was charged with assault and posted bail soon thereafter. Now he’s back in the classroom. Probably. And he’s real sorry:
McIntyre was released without bail at his arraignment last night and told the paper: “It was a very unfortunate event. I didn’t mean for it to explode the way it did.“
And Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t mean to eat little boys the way he did…

At least he didn’t disciminate on her gender.
Women should get punched in a post-feminist world?
