Was Stanford always a desegregated school or always coed?

Stanford University was not always desegregated or coeducational. It first opened in 1891 as a coeducational institution, admitting both men and women, but it initially had a predominantly white student body. Over the years, Stanford took steps toward desegregation, officially ending its discriminatory policies and practices by the mid-20th century, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. Today, Stanford is committed to diversity and inclusion.
