Columbia is an excellent institution. I doubt that they would allow an untenured professor who suffers from megalomania to stay on staff. Would you not agree?

I would not agree.

I've heard too many stories of institutions with lofty reputations allowing this type of thing.

WTF? I can't believe you are asking me this question.......Mr. Sovereignty. When did we start allowing foreign nationals to do videos of our classrooms and then criticize the professor in question?

Foreign nationals doing a video about the US isn't an infringement on US sovereignty, nor is it something surprising or offensive IMO.

that video is such an obvious violation of our business.

Why?

American film crews also go to other countries and make documentaries, news clips and such, sometimes critical ones. They have every right to their opinion, and every right to express it. A violation of our sovereignty would be if Israel somehow tried to make the Americans individuals and institutions involved in this issue comply with some Israeli government order but that isn't what is happening here.
