Stanford University is responding to a lawsuit from the parents of soccer player Katie Meyer, claiming the school's harsh disciplinary actions contributed to her suicide. The university has requested emails and texts from Meyer's former teammates, Naomi Girma and Sierra Enge, who created a timeline regarding Meyer's situation and shared it with her parents. Girma and Enge, both successful athletes in their own right, have been previously interviewed under oath. The case raises serious questions about the university's disciplinary procedures and their impact on student well-being.
Stanford's attorney stated that if Ms. Girma's counsel had not withheld the timeline and asserted baseless objections, the outcome could have been prevented.
Meyer, who was facing possible expulsion due to a disciplinary charge, was found dead the day after receiving an email about her academic status.
