. 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.”

In the now defunct newspaper The New York Sun one Cuban American scholar criticized Coatsworth's preface to a book on "The Cuban Economy at the Start of the Twenty-First Century" on the grounds that Coatsworth's claim that Cuba's economy was only one of two in Latin America that grew in the 1980s was based on false data supplied by Cuban institutions that Coatsworth ought to have known were mouthpieces for government propaganda. Coatsworth had actually cited data published by the OECD and the World Bank.

Coatsworth has advocated for the U.S. to abide by and strengthen global rules and norms. “The United States faces a fundamental issue and that issue is, how do we create international and global institutions that function effectively and will continue to function effectively when the U.S. is no longer a global super power,” Coatsworth said in an April 9, 2010, interview with Charlie Rose on PBS.
