Don't know about the latter, but Stanford is no bastion of conservatives or conservatism. There are conservative scholars at the Hoover Institution, but the rest of the university is pretty typical of American academia (i.e., mostly liberal-left). That's not to say that there aren't a fair number of conservatives in the student body, but probably not significantly more than you'll find at similar elite universities (Harvard, Yale, etc.).
