The lawsuit alleges that Stanford University's 'reckless' handling of disciplinary charges against Katie Meyer led to the goalkeeper's suicide.
The parents of Katie Meyer have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Stanford University months after the 22-year-old soccer captain was found dead in her dorm room.
Though the incident was reported to the university last year, the football player faced no disciplinary actions, the suit claimed, and wasn’t dismissed from the team. “The Stanford community continues to grieve Katie’s tragic death,” Mostofi wrote in a statement, “and we sympathize with her family for the unimaginable pain that Katie’s passing has caused them.”
School administrators also said Meyer was offered an advisor throughout the process and a support person of her choosing for any hearing.In wake of the campus deaths of soccer star Katie Meyer and others, Stanford University officials vow to expand mental health services. “Through this litigation we will not only obtain justice for Katie,” Dougherty added, “but also ensure necessary change is put into place to help protect Stanford students and provide safeguards when students are in need of support.”
