Obama rumored to return to Columbia after presidency

CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Columbia University campus newspaper says President Obama will return to the school after leaving the White House, but the White House has not confirmed the rumor.

The newspaper is reporting that Columbia's president made the announcement to new students.

President Lee Bollinger reportedly said President Obama is returning to Columbia, but didn't say what he'd be doing there.

The White House told the Los Angeles Times the president has no official plans after his term ends.

President Obama graduated from Columbia in 1983.
