Stanford Impostor Dupes ROTC, Too

May 29, 2007 03:56 PM ET | Permanent Link | Print

The Stanford Daily continues its coverage of the Stanford imposter and reports that Azia Kim was able to infiltrate the Army ROTC detachment at Santa Clara University. (Because of a campus ban on ROTC, Stanford undergrads who want to participate have to take do so at other nearby colleges.)

Kim took classes on Army tactics and history (which she excelled at), received military equipment, and earned official military awards for her top grades at Stanford (which she proved with forged documents).

When a fellow cadet once asked, "Wouldn't it be funny if you went to Housing and they said that you weren't a Stanford student," Kim "didn't even flinch," says an acquaintance. "That just shows her awesomeness." --Alison Go
