I cannot reproduce it here.
Maybe giving the columns a little more room to breathe with a negative
3px margin could be of help.
If nothing helps, I'd look into this section between the columns:
<p> </p>
</div><!-- Belongs ... -->
<!-- ::::::::::::::::: Right ... -->
<div id="sidebar">
<!--The class "quicklinks" is set to {display: none;} ... -->
<h2 class="quicklinks">Grad School Quick Links</h2>
<!-- Unscrunching ... -->
This can cause duplicated content, freezes or other problems:
- tight float setting
- two adjacent html comments
- display:none elements with or without adjacent comments
and you have all of them.
Sounds like voodoo, but I wouldn't be that surprised if IE would
duplicate the between the floats. Removing all comments and the
display:none element could be a try.
I hope others will see more.
