It upsets me that institutions like Stanford are the talk of the town when decisions like this are made. I understand that no institution is perfect, but it's incredulous how such a capable, bright institution could be so obviously incorrect here. There is no judicious interpretation of the actions here that could read in a "well, in this context, that decision seemed reasonable due to {X,Y,Z}" kind of way.
