My guess is the Dean's letter, which is well-researched and filled with citations to CA and federal law, will be referenced by administrators at other schools.

My guess is the Dean's letter, which is well-researched and filled with citations to CA and federal law, will be referenced by administrators at other schools. I don't think it will become as well-known as the Chicago Principles, but it will be used to give legal heft to such principles. Of course, some schools and administrators will completely ignore it. But I doubt the Dean will be walking this back. Stanford's President took the unusual move of signing his name to the original apology, and he has surely reviewed this letter. He's in her corner on this (at least as long as he remains president...).
