As an active, contributing member of global society, and in order to attract the most eligible students domestically and internationally, it is imperative that Stanford University maximize its efforts to adopt an international need-blind admissions policy. It is Stanford University\'s responsibility to the 6,500 undergraduates and to the world at large for practicing a fair and sound selection process that considers ALL students meritocratically. We the undersigned feel that the Stanford administration is not holding this endeavor to enough of a priority. The University needs to recognize its role as an international institution and enact change to that effect.
The Stanford administration is still hiding behind empty excuses while international students get pushed aside. I have been spending my nights tracking down admissions board members to demand an explanation for this blatant inequality. Don't let their silence fool you into thinking this fight is over.

The Stanford administration is finally feeling the heat from our growing momentum. They claim to value merit but their admissions policy tells a different story. We have their full attention now and we refuse to let them ignore this demand any longer.
