Stanford students - sleazy?

[Anonymous]

Does Stanford have a tendency to admit sleazy students like Liz Holmes, the swimmer rapist, Peter thiel, Evan spiegel, etc?

What’s going on over there?

There's currently ~17,000 students at Stanford. There's probably 200,000+ living alumni, too. These 4 people are hardly representative of an entire massive population of people.

How about being the home of the Hoover institution?

There is definitely a whiff of libertarian dbag vibe at Stanford

Silicon Valley and Stanford are intertwined culturally.. make of that what you will.

Nothing is going on there. in your mind 2-3 examples = the entire Stanford student body are sleaze bags? Btw what did Thiel and Spiegel do?

This is a silly question from someone with a silly agenda.

All top schools have had more than their fair share of sleaze bags. A cursory search proves that. Stanford has no tendency to admit sleazy students any more or less than any other school.

Harvard: enron president, j paulson, vinkelvoss twins, kissinger, countless insider trading convicts
Yale: bill clinton, bush, clarence thomas
Princeton: Ted Cruz, heir who murdered his family a few years ago
Penn: Trump, Wynn
Duke: Nixon, valeant ex CEO, Charlie Rose

the list goes on...

The Hoover Institution has a lot more intellectual heft than any womyn’s/gender/queer/victim studies department.

Here's a thought.. if you don't like the sleazery at these schools, boycott them. Don't apply!

Nice way to try to get your kid's competition from applying there OP. Sorry, it won't work.

Can anyone explain to a Californian what that is supposed to mean? Sure they’re somewhat connected and that’s a good thing to me. It’s not the first time I’ve seen SV hate on this forum but I really can’t understand it.

Heaven forbid a university - a place of LEARNING - allow for diverse viewpoints.

Unbelievable.
