Something very similar happened at UCLA recently:  http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/06/us/deb....html?_r=0

There is a Stanford connection in the UCLA story.  The student who was subjected to questions about her ability to remain unbiased "given that [she is] a Jewish student and very active in the Jewish community" is Rachel Beyda.  Her father Bill is a Stanford alum and was (I believe) editor for the Stanford Daily.  Her brother Joseph is also a Stanford alum and former Daily editor who co-wrote the book "Rags to Roses."

Is anti-Semitism a problem at Stanford?  I don't know to be honest.  But I do think it is a problem with organizations like SOOP and SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine).  They are antagonistic and divisive organizations that do not allow any opposition to their views or positions.
