Well, Stanford has a lot of money, a lot more than the people who supplied the drugs and would seem to be actually culpable. Not sure how any school could prevent a student from taking illegal drugs with impurities.
What's curious to me is this-
Inability to speak or move seems to be in tension with the capacity to refuse medical care. That's not something to sue Stanford about, but I'm curious what the paramedics saw and their decision making process.
From my college days I am familiar with instances of people being really drunk, having paramedics called to the dorm, and then the person refusing treatment and preferring to sleep it off. Now if the paramedics asked, did he take any drugs, and everyone disclaimed knowledge or denied that, would seem those people maybe could have some responsibility.
End of the day though, if you're making the decision to take prescription drugs from an unknown source and something goes wrong, well that sucks but sometimes life doesn't afford second chances.

Quote:TDX’s resident assistant learned that Eitan had lost the ability to speak or move in the early evening hours of Jan. 15. The RA called 911 at the direction of the dean, but Eitan declined further medical care when first responders arrived.
