I'm trying to track down the truthfulness of the claims that Stanford's administration lied to its accreditor.

If that isn't independently verifiable, I'm going to ignore the rest of this complaint, as (based on several details) it looks like a person with a personal vendetta is trying to make a larger case than exists.

There is a personal vendetta for sure, but also probably some underlying sketchiness from the Stanford administration that prompted said vendetta.

I wouldn't take their description of these events as gospel. They clearly use selective information disclosure to enhance their case. For example, they imply their investigative journalism led to Drell no longer being employed at Stanford. She is the Director of Stanford Linear Accelerator.

In short: this individual is not operating on level and is attempting to make stanford's administration look more evil than they actually are. The statements about lies are literally only believed by this one individual.
