The article tries to present Stanford as relatively unique in this light — which is great for Stanford but potentially bad for the overall ecosystem. It shores that up with the vacuous statement about how it is "unclear if Stanford is the only major U.S. university [...]". A few minutes of online research (or perhaps an hour(s) of calls to registrars) would have resolved that. Then she could have made a concrete informative statement like "[?All] of the top 10 ranked schools (via US News and World Report) have seen a significant increase in female computer science majors." and/or "MIT & [...] also reported that CS is the most popular major for women."
