The mass shooting that left six Asian women dead in Atlanta, Ga. last month captured headlines and shook Asian communities across the country amid a reported rise in anti-Asian violence since the pandemic began.
But anti-Asian hate violence did not begin with COVID-19. The Daily’s Data Team analyzed hate incidents against Asians at Stanford and across the nation in the years leading to and during the pandemic.
The number of reported hate incidents at Stanford campus targeting Asians jumped from 2018 to 2019, the year before the pandemic hit, according to The Daily’s analysis. A preliminary compilation of last year’s data, which is yet to be fully gathered and published, indicates a lower number of reported hate incidents against Asians in 2020.

Students enrolling in graduate school at Stanford come from a range of countries around the world. The Daily’s Data Team examined international student enrollment in graduate programs at Stanford from data released by the Bechtel International Center. What did we find? The number of graduate students from China has doubled since 2008, while enrollment among graduate students from other countries has remained relatively stagnant in comparison. Among all the different programs, the Graduate School of Business (GSB) has consistently enrolled the highest percentage of international graduate students.
