As much as Ostler may be a click bait whore now, articles like his have the potential to get the target defensive, and respond. I'm sure Ostler in part was trying to provoke a reaction from Stanford.

Of course, we're talking about Stanford here, a private university with zero accountability to the public that is the second richest school in the world, and really doesn't care what anyone else thinks. That has been proven by its feckless behavior and near silence re: conference affiliation matters.

Ostler may be a columnist, but he's still ostensibly a journalist. How about doing some, you know, reporting on Stanford, and writing about what he learned? Anyone can throw bombs and shoot from the hip like a message board poster.
