In January 2015,
The Fountain Hopper broke the
Brock Turner story. Three years later,
The Fountain Hopper reported that Stanford repeatedly rejected the victim's choice of quotes for a memorial plaque that the university had promised to place at the site of the crime. Later in 2015,
The Fountain Hopper initiated a campaign informing Stanford students to of their right to access their
admissions files through an obscure provision in
FERPA, a federal law governing access to educational records. Over 2,800 Stanford students submitted FERPA requests. Students at colleges around the US filed FERPA requests of their own, leading to universities across the US releasing previously private records relating to college admissions and changing their file retention policies. In March 2015,
The Fountain Hopper collaborated with
Vice to break the story of a
Stanford Medical School student who, over the course of several months, poisoned her classmates with
paraformaldehyde. The story garnered significant attention in
Singapore, as the accused was an
A*Star scholar. In January 2018, FoHo reported on a Stanford admissions officer, Karen Alonzo, who used the official Stanford
Instagram account to like her personal photographs. Stanford subsequently removed her name from the list of admissions officers, reassigning her applicant territories to another admissions officer. ==See also==
