After all, when he first took over at Stanford University, the institution was still tarnished by the "Stanford Prison Experiment" scandal, with other universities joking that rich kids could simply pay their way into Stanford to legally trample on their poorer classmates. Newspapers even mocked this expert in human biology, claiming he would personally oversee the development of a more perfect, more brutal 2.0 version of the "Stanford Prison Experiment."
