<p>stanford is definitely need-blind</p>
<p>im sorry but i dont believe the story.</p>
<p>no one at stanford would be so careless to say that over the phone. quite honestly, the employee would probably be fired if his/her boss found out.</p>
<p>if this did actually happen, im pretty sure she could make it a legal case for violating their own policies (but i would def not recommend it).</p>
