  • Co-Operative Living at Stanford a Report of SWOPSI 146
    CoopAtStan-28W Weds May 16 7:00 pm Draft Only — Draft Only — Draft Only Co-operative Living at Stanford A Report of SWOPSI 146 May 1990 Preface This report resulted from the hard work of the students of a Stanford Workshops on Political and Social Issues (SWOPSI) class called “Co-operative Living and the Current Crisis at Stanford.” Both instructors and students worked assiduously during Winter quarter 1990 researching and writing the various sections of this report. The success of the class’s actions at Stanford and of this report resulted from blending academics and activism (a fun but time-consuming combination). Contributing to this report were: Paul Baer (instructor) Chris Balz Natalie Beerer Tom Boellstorff Scott Braun Liz Cook Joanna Davidson (instructor) Yelena Ginzburg John Hagan Maggie Harrison Alan Haynie Madeline Larsen (instructor) Dave Nichols Sarah Otto Ethan Pride Eric Rose (instructor) Randy Schutt Eric Schwitzgebel Raquel Stote Jim Welch Michael Wooding Bruce Wooster ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who contributed to this final report and the resolution of the Co-op crisis. Although we would like to mention everyone by name, it might double the length of this entire document. Our everlasting thanks go out to everyone who contributed. Especially Leland Stanford for having his co-operative vision, the SWOPSI Office for carrying it on and providing the opportunity for this class to happen, Henry Levin, our faculty sponsor for his help with the proposal process, Lee Altenberg, whose tremendous knowledge of Stanford co-operative lore is exceeded only by his boundless passion for the co-ops themselves; the Co-op Alumni network, the folks at the Davis, Berkeley, and Cornell co-ops, NASCO, and all of the existing Stanford co-ops for their support during this entire process.

  • Stanford University (A): Indirect Cost Recovery
    Graduate School of Business S-A-155A Stanford University July 1994 Stanford University (A): Indirect Cost Recovery March 13, 1991, Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. “What we will hear today is a story of tax-payer dollars going to bloated overhead [rather] than to scientific research. It is a story of excess and arrogance, compounded by lax government oversight,” said John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Dingell concludes that three explanations are possible for events at Stanford University: “One is that there is great incompetence out there; one is that there is rascality out there; one is there may be both.” Less than a year earlier, the New York Times had praised Stanford for “slashing its budget 13 percent, laying off nonteaching employees and tearing up organiza- tional charts—all the while pledging not to raise tuition by more than 1 percentage point above the inflation rate.” The acting dean of Harvard University’s faculty of arts and sciences said, “These concerns are quite common. I admire Stanford for the fact that they have started to tackle this, and I am quite sure the rest of us will follow soon—not necessarily in terms of major cuts, but in terms of attempting to deal with these financial questions.”1 Background Stanford is at the center of a roiling dispute over the federal research dol- lars that vaulted the University to international prominence.

Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Albert H.

The Veterans Memorial Building is a Modern building with Ranch-style motifs and rustic details. It was designed by Palo Alto architect Birge M. Clark, based on a master plan developed by Clark and Stromquist, and constructed in 1955-56 for the City of Redwood City. First envisioned in 1943, it was developed by a committee made up of veterans and community members that continued to manage the building as the Veterans Memorial Commission until 1970. It was sited on the grounds of Community Park, a property purchased with a bond passed in 1944, but the building itself was paid for through a city tax. When opened, the building was fully paid for. At this time, the city would like to replace or renovate the Veterans Memorial Building and replace the adjacent Senior Resource Center (constructed in 1982) and the ‘49ers building, swim center, and adjunct buildings across Nevada Street to construct a new senior center and pool.
