In Columbo Goes to College Jordan Rowe consistently lets Columbo have it. He says at one point "it's obvious you don't know which end is up. That's not an insult its a statement of fact"
Then later on he very sternly reminds Columbo that this is the 2nd time we ve met.
Oh and Mrs Rowe too indirectly tells Columbo off. By saying that the police department assigned this "wrinkled little dumbbell" to find Professor rusks killer.
The one he gives the most reason to blow up at him might be Beth Chadwick, since of course she's already been cleared. Instead, she's pretty restrained. (Maybe it's that "classiness" that he mentions in the final scene.)
