[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stanford should be held liable for this. Utterly callous and negligent. Young adults when put in vulnerable positions aren’t in a position to think rationally. Their brains are not fully developed yet.

What’s more shocking is Stanford’s reaction to this. A family lost their daughter forever!

I am amazed at their callous treatment of her - she was a goalie for their women’s soccer team. Where were the coaches? There were no faculty/coaches looped in or supporting her?

Exactly. No one was there for her. I get she was an adult but still she was vulnerable and let Stanford know that in many formats. I am not condoning her actions (assuming it was not an accident). But there was context and also she earned the right to make a mistake. After all she did for the school, she deserved someone there supporting her. I don’t think $10m is enough. [/quote]

Come on. We’ve spent decades getting to a place where we finally understand that football players who risk their bodies to generate tens of millions of dollars and incalculable goodwill for their universities don’t earn the right to make mistakes with other people’s bodies on campus. It is a good thing that athletes are held to account for assaulting other people.

3 months after the she still claimed it was an accident.  She should have been advised to own it, take her lumps and move on.  I imagine worst case she gets suspended. [/quote]
