Eric Foner

Eric Foner CC '63 is a leftist professor who teaches inexplicably popular classes on 19th century American history, paritcularly the Jacksonian and Reconstruction eras. He is also a prominent alumnus of Columbia College, having received the John Jay Award in 2007, and a Kellett Fellow, having studied at Cambridge after graduating. Foner was a special invited guest to the Banquet in Honor of the King of Spain (although he did not attend).

Conservative David Horowitz named him one of the "101 most dangerous" professors in America.
