In general, private universities (such as Stanford, on the west coast, and the Ivy League schools -- e.g., Harvard, Yale, and Princeton on the east coast, and places like the University of Chicago, Rice University, and Washington University (in St. Louis, Missouri) in the middle of the country -- can waive tuition for foreign students if they want to. Those schools are not supported by local or national governments, so they do not have to comply with the wishes of tax payers, who are the ones supporting all of the state universities, such as University of Washington, University of Oregon, University of California, University of Arizona, etc., etc.
