At the 6/13 @Stanford senate mtg, the debate re: the @stanfordpress motion took (at least) 60 minutes out of the 120-minute session, or 50%. In the @Stanford Report article, it was given 203 words out of an 1881-word article, or 11%.

A #GradStatement was read aloud for ~5 mins, or 4% of the overall session. In the Stanford Report retelling, it was given 0 words, or 0% docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… @stanfordpress @Stanford

.@Stanford Provost @PersisDrell spoke for perhaps 5 minutes, followed by 0 questions, for about 4% of the overall session (same amt of time as the Grad Statement above) - and yet the @Stanford Report allotted 390 words, or 20% of the entire article.

Meanwhile, @alanpharvey of @stanfordpress spoke+fielded Qs at the Senate session for 30 minutes, or 25% of the overall 2 hours. @Stanford Report version afforded a mere 315 words, or 17% of the article. Less than Provost.

And to top it off, @Stanford President spoke for about the same time as the Provost and Grad Student, or 4% of the proceedings, and was allotted 15% of the @Stanford Report retelling.
