TAKE THE MONEY, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY'LL GIVE YOU

WHEN THE LEGAL SYSTEM CAN'T ACTUALLY MAKE VICTIMS WHOLE, WHY CRITICIZE THEM FOR TAKING WHAT LITTLE THEY'RE OFFERED?

Last week, Florida State settled the Title IX lawsuit brought against them by Erica Kinsman by agreeing to pay out just under one million dollars and commit to five years of sexual assault prevention, awareness, and training programs. A few days ago, Cal admitted their own liability in the 2014 death of Ted Agu after a workout, a step the university said was designed to "focus the legal proceedings on appropriate compensation for the family." The Agu family didn't put a dollar figure in their complaint, but it's not hard to imagine that award being very, very high.
