The Impostor

In today's San Jose Mercury News, Stanford Student was an Impostor:

What would you do to attend Stanford? An 18-year-old Fullerton woman spent the last eight months posing as a biology major, buying textbooks, sneaking into meals, even moving into a dorm with an unsuspecting roommate. Because she never had a Stanford ID or a school-issued dorm key, she got in and out of her dorm by climbing through the first-floor window. Her story started unraveling this month, and now the university—and her stunned circle of friends and dorm mates—are looking back on how a woman described as a sweet, bespectacled student could have pulled off such a ruse....

I'm amazed that someone could get away with this at Stanford. I can't even successfully sneak into the good seats at basketball games—one of the sharp-eyed retirees in the red coats always spots me.

They should at least find a way to give her an honorary degree or something.
