I've removed Stanford from my estate plans. What happened at the law school, especially the lack of any consequences for ringleader Dean Steinbach, was the last straw for me.

Without digging into the political valences of this saga, what makes you think there are a lack of consequences? FWIW, she's presently on administrative leave and the Dean's letter indicated it could not yet comment on what the ultimate resolution would be. And as a second FWIW, both of the deans involved in the YLS "traphouse" saga were reassigned to new positions in the aftermath of that scandal, which is my best guess for what will happen here. One rather soon thereafter decamped for another institution, and my guess is that Steinbach will too...

FYI, I listened to the full recording of the Stanford law school incident.  A few things to keep in mind:
1) Some students, who admittedly where there to protest the speaker's legal opinions, reacted disruptively during his speech. (For example, when he was talking about his COVID opinion, a student shouted out, "and people died like my grandfather").  However, in part due to the actions of the dean, most of the protesters eventually left and the speaker was given the opportunity to say whatever he wanted.  
2) The speaker chose instead to insult the law students for the earlier disruptions.  Not surprisingly, the students took exception to that.  But mostly they just wanted him to go on with his speech.  You can hear students on the recording literally begging him to do so. But he responds by saying he is not going to stand there and just read a speech and then chooses to unilaterally skip to the Q&A session. (The event had no moderator.)
3) The Q&A session was actually really interesting.  The students asked insightful, knowledgeable questions, as you would expect top law students to do. But then the speaker abruptly cut that off and commenced his press tour of personal grievance that the world has seen (which interestingly has not included any of the content of the important speech that he was purportedly prevented from delivering to a few dozen students back at Stanford).  In any event, the whole episode was nothing like people have made it out to be. 

And if winflop and others are concerned that conservative voices are no longer welcome on campus, do not worry. The Hoover Institution is stronger than it has ever been.  Stanford has now helped grow Hoover's endowment to over $750M (bigger than the endowments of many colleges). It is currently run by Stanford's former provost and has an annual budget of almost $80M. Its fellows include Stanford law professors and faculty members from many other departments.  Many Hoover affiliates played major roles in the Trump administration, including National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis.  Hoover's facilities are in the center of campus (right next to the Quad) and have grown with sparkling new research buildings and lecture halls added in recent years. They regularly host high profile conservative speakers and others on campus without incident.
