Stanford will also give a new “Katie Meyer Leadership Award” to a student-athlete each year and retire Meyer’s jersey number, 19. In their lawsuit, Meyer’s parents accused Stanford of having an overly harsh and unfair discipline process, paired with a lack of support for students. The lawsuit listed seven Stanford students who died by suicide since January 2019: Ziwen Wang, Kelly Catlin, Norah Borus, Rose Wong, Jacob Meisel and Dylan Alexander Simmons. In 2020, a committee from the Associated Students of Stanford University found the discipline process takes too long — in some cases, months — even for minor violations. Stanford will incorporate the principles of the proposed law into the university discipline process, today’s announcement said.
