58 years ago, May 2 1966, dozens of students and faculty picketed the Assistant Provost for Research’s office at Stanford to protest the school’s classified contracts with the CIA, which was involved in various military and parapsychology research projects at the university

Students handed out fliers detailing the department of Electrical Engineering’s relationship to the CIA and demanded disclosure of details about the contracts. The CIA also ran MKULTRA experiments at Stanford in the 50s and 60s and worked with the Stanford Research Institute
