Stanford University has reached a settlement with the family of former star goalkeeper Katie Meyer, bringing an end to a wrongful death lawsuit that accused the elite institution of contributing to the 22-year-old athlete’s suicide through what the family described as a “reckless” disciplinary process.
The settlement, confirmed Monday through a joint statement by Stanford and Meyer’s parents, Steven and Gina Meyer, comes nearly three years of legal disputes stemming from Meyer’s death in March 2022.
