Performing campus


This entire school year Azia Kim, an 18 year old from Orange County, has been living in Kimball and Okada undergraduate dormitories on campus. But Kim was never accepted as a student. She's been squatting. Allegedly she climbed in and out of the first floor window as she was never issued a key. In the meantime, she's been doing all the basics like attending classes, studying for exams, meeting friends, and pissing off her roommate. Her roommate at Okada had this to say:

"Personally, I don't feel safe now that Stanford allowed this to happen and that they're not doing anything to ensure the safety of their students. I think something is definitely wrong with the system if this could happen."

Unfortunately Kim hasnt spoken-out about what made her decide to act like being a freshman at Stanford. But its the perfect response to last week's realization at MIT that Marilee Jones, their Dean of Admissions, never graduated from college as was listed on her resume when she applied for a position at the university 28 years ago. When this tiny piece of information became public, despite her terrific work as MIT's Dean, she resigned.
