A bill spurred by the 2022 death of Katie Meyer, who died by suicide when she was a soccer goalie at Stanford, has become state law in California.

A new California state law, brought on by the death of Katie Meyer and her family’s Katie’s Save initiative, will provide students with an advisor of their choosing during disciplinary proceedings at California colleges and universities.

Stanford held a women's soccer game dedicated to mental health and did not honor Katie Meyer, the former Stanford goalie who died by suicide in 2022.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that makes California the latest state to ban legacy and donor admissions in higher education, including at Stanford and USC.

Stanford University stopped short on Monday of pledging to comply with a new California law banning legacy admissions, while other prestigious institutions committed to upholding the newly passed legislation.
