Coatsworth replied that "If he itlerwere willing to engage in a debate and a discussion to be challenged by Columbia students and faculty, we would certainly invite him." Asked to clarify his remarks on September 24 on CNN Coatsworth said: "Look, if Hitler had come to the Columbia University in 1936, I would have been outside with the peaceful protesters. Or if I had been dean, I would have been inside presenting him to our students to be challenged. You can't choose your role in life. You can only choose the principles you have to live by. And in this case, we're providing not a platform but a classroom and we're going to challenge this guy as he has not been challenged in other places." Coatsworth has advocated for the U.S. to abide by and strengthen global rules and norms.
