v.

2. When an institution, organization, group does shady things to protect one of its members. Usually at the detriment of at least one innocent individual.

3. White privilege organization taking care of a white privilege individual at the expense of justice.

4. When a university's leadership does its best to sweep a rape/sexual assault case under the rug so its reputation isn't tarnished, instead of looking out for the welfare of their students by protecting the victim and ensuring the perpetrator (once convicted) is dealt with appropriately.
"Pullin a Stanford" is derived from the Brock Turner rape case wherein Stanford University did its utmost to downplay his charges as he was a Stanford swimmer . A strong example is how long it took, and how much pressure it took from the media, to get Turner's actual mugshots.
