According to the lawsuit, Meyer was deeply perturbed by a possible disciplinary action she was facing.
According to the lawsuit, Meyer, 21, was deeply perturbed by an email she received from Stanford’s Office of Community Standards regarding a possible disciplinary action she was facing. In August 2021, Meyer allegedly spilled coffee on a Stanford football player who was accused of sexually assaulting one of her teammates on the soccer team. The coffee incident was reported to the Office of Community Standards, which was reviewing the case, the lawsuit alleges.
“Stanford employees failed to support Katie when she expressed feelings of despair, she was ‘terrified an accident will destroy my future,’ and she had ‘been scared for months that my clumsiness will ruin my chances of leaving Stanford on a good note,’ and experiencing much ‘anxiety’ related to the OCS Process,” lawsuit says.
