Quote:In a joint statement Monday, the school and Meyer's family announced Stanford will create a Katie Meyer Leadership Award "to be given to an exceptional Stanford student-athlete each year." The statement, which made no mention of any monetary settlement, said that Meyer's jersey "will be retired to honor the impact Katie had on Stanford women's soccer."
The university also announced that it will "adopt the principles of Katie Meyer's Law to provide support to students" who are facing the school's disciplinary process.
The law was passed by the California legislature and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2024 in honor of Meyer. It mandates that any California college or university that receives public funding for financial aid have a designated adviser during disciplinary proceedings.
Additionally, the joint statement said, Stanford and the Meyer family agreed to "collaborate ... to launch an initiative focused on the mental health and well-being of student-athletes."
