The Stanford Review is a student-run newspaper that serves Stanford University in Stanford, California. It was founded in 1987 by Peter Thiel and Norman Book. It is published and distributed without charge to the Stanford community every two weeks during the academic year.
By 1987, Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition inspired a coalition of Stanford students that put forth a set of demands called the Rainbow Agenda. The Stanford Review was founded partly to provide an alternative viewpoint.
