They felt opening Stanford to more students will dilute its brand/exclusivity feel, and character, yada yada....
Basically, some folks that wanted to keep it an exclusive club, nixed it.
Right now Cornell has a tech campus there.
- drfuchs 5y agoNew York held a competition for establishing a campus on Roosevelt Island, and Stanford competed strongly, and was considered the shoo-in candidate, but they were sent home with their tail between their legs when the Cornell / Technion team won the bid. Nobody on the Stanford side nixed it; they lost and everyone in Silicon Valley was astonished.
