PALO ALTO — Stanford University has expelled a female student who “fabricated sailing credentials” in her college application, quietly announcing in a short statement posted on its website Tuesday that the student’s admission has been rescinded after the university confirmed “some of the material in the student’s application is false.”

The university has previously said the student was admitted through the university’s normal process, without the recommendation of disgraced sailing coach John Vandemoer or any other university coach or athletic team. The $500,000 contribution to the sailing program was made “several months after the student was admitted,” Stanford said in a statement March 21.
