Stanford University, in the town of Stanford and the city of Palo Alto, California, is a private university in the United States. It was founded in 1891 by the gift of the successful businessman Leland Stanford (1824-1893), a former governor of California, on the site of his country estate.[4]
Stanford is one of the world's leading research institutions, with top professors and researchers in the fields of physics, medicine, engineering, and the natural sciences.[5]
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education ranked Stanford as the worst college in the country on the issue of freedom of speech.[6][7] Additional criticism of Stanford for its liberal policies include Stanford's:
- expelling a doctoral student from its program because he told the truth about mandatory abortion in China
- Banning of all ROTC programs because they allegedly discriminate against homosexuals.
