If the party was registered as an open party and also required attendees to have a Stanford ID on them...then whoever threw the party is really busted.

From the Stanford party guide linked above:

Once your party grows to a size where you need to make use of a public space, (e.g. the hallway of your dorm, lounge at your row house, space in Elliot Program Center or in Tresidder, or Lag BBQ Pit) you need to register it

and

Examples of parties that should not be registered: You and a friend (both of you over 21) have a beer or a glass of wine in your room. You invite a speaker to campus, after the talk you host a recep-tion. You don’t serve alcohol.  (This is an event. Events have their own registration process which is overseen by Student Activities and Leadership). Examples of events that should be registered as parties: 1. A public event without alcohol service held for the purpose of socializing. These are parties like Screw Your Sib and Club Caliente. Students dance, eat, drink (EANABs!), and they socialize. 2. Public events with alcohol service. Examples of this kind of party include 680’s Exotic, Café Night and Senior Night.

So it seems pretty clear that the party in question would have had to be registered by this policy.


Slightly ambiguous is whether the victim in this case would have been allowed to be there by the Stanford party policy. The guide explicitly states that non-Stanford students under 18 are not allowed. It also makes clear that for most parties, Stanford students can bring a guest who is a college student elsewhere.* As far as I saw, the policy never specifically addresses whether non-college students can attend a Stanford party even as a guest.


* The typical wording is "A Stanford student can escort one non-Stanford college student guest, with valid college ID"
