<p>The concerns you have (widening wealth gap, the removal of executive leadership from workers, and the like) are not specific at all to the tech industry. That’s a growing trend of the entire world. Again, none of it has to do with any one university, and it isn’t fair of you to try to single Stanford out.</p>
<p>“Mid-40% of STEM majors is high compared to Harvard and Yale” is not a valid response to what I mentioned. So what if it’s higher than Harvard and Yale? They are known for having more students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. This “high percent” still means that the majority of students are not graduating in a STEM field.</p>
<p>For the record, Stanford places high importance on ethics education. The founders were explicit about this. Consequently, Stanford requires two citizenship classes in areas like ethical reasoning in order for students to graduate. Furthermore, the engineering school, which is Stanford’s traditional link to Silicon Valley, requires all students to take a “science, technology, and society” class, which is more or less an ethics class to put students’ knowledge in context.</p>
