In a surprise email, Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne announced that all students would return to campus with their tuition waived. The cause of this abrupt change in policy? Researchers in the School of Medicine discovered a COVID-19 vaccine that is 100% effective. The free tuition was an innovation from the Hoover Institution. "We call it trickle down tuition payments," a Hoover spokesperson said. "Stanford will actually make more tuition money by not charging any tuition."
