Stanford is making new announcements daily.  The current position may or may not be the same.

Some students may be allowed to take a leave of absence.  There are a lot of students who may not be allowed to do so.  I think that is a bigger issue.

I went to college in the Stone Age, but I seem to recall that the University would allow anyone to take a year off, with or without reason.  Not sure if that's still the case.  It may be that the "gap year" students want to take comes between their sophomore and junior years at Stanford.
