Man pretended to be a Stanford student, squatted in dorms for nearly a year

[NYP] An Alabama man posed as a Stanford University student, squatting in several campus dorms and associating with the student community for nearly a year, according to university officials and reports.

William Curry, a 2021 high school grad from Birmingham, was kicked off campus Thursday after he allegedly stole a television from the Crothers Hall student residence, where he had been squatting in the basement for several weeks, The Stanford Daily reported.

The university previously removed him from campus several times, but Curry kept coming back and was able to blend in and access several dormitories, the student newspaper reported.

Curry, who posed as a sophomore studying pre-med, lived in at least five student residence halls from Fall 2021 up until his removal last week, students told the newspaper.

Students said the man had broken into dorm rooms and harassed at least one student, according to the publication.
