"Stanford has settled a lawsuit with the family of Katie Meyer, a star soccer player who died by suicide in her dorm after receiving a discipline letter from the university. As part of the settlement announced today (Jan. 26), Stanford has agreed to provide more support for students going through the discipline process and to launch an initiative focused on student mental health at its Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute."
"Meyer saved a total of 112 goals in 50 games for Stanford, including two key saves in a championship-game shootout in 2019. Stanford will also give a new "Katie Meyer Leadership Award" to a student-athlete each year and retire Meyer's jersey number, 19. "Stanford and the Meyer family believe that working together on these initiatives will both honor Katie's indelible legacy and help current and future students in meaningful ways," the two sides announced today (Jan. 26)."
