Dating & Relationship Status
There is no verified information in public records or reputable news sources about Katie Meyer’s dating or relationship status during her life. The focus of public coverage has been on her achievements as an athlete, her leadership, and her impact on teammates and friends.
Meyer died in her dorm room in Crothers Hall, a residential housing building on the Stanford campus on March 1, 2022. When asked about the situation surrounding her death, Meyer's mother said Katie had received an email about disciplinary action and that "She had been getting letters for a couple months... This letter was kind of the final letter that there was going to be a trial or some kind of something. This was the only thing we can come up with that triggered something." Meyer, who had no legal representation in the action and suffered from anxiety and depression, received the email in the evening while on the phone with Stanford teammate and future U.S. National Team player Naomi Girma.
The Meyer family filed a wrongful death suit against Stanford on November 23, 2022 in Santa Clara County Superior Court. The lawsuit is scheduled for trial in April 2026. According to the lawsuit, Meyer had been "facing disciplinary action for allegedly spilling coffee on a Stanford football player who was accused of sexually assaulting a female soccer player. Meyer's father said his daughter was defending that teammate, who was a minor at the time." The complaint was made with the Stanford Office of Community Standards and possible sanctions included having her diploma withheld.
In 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1575, or Katie Meyer's Law, introduced by Assembly member Jacqui Irwin. The law mandates that public schools allow college students facing a disciplinary issue to have an outside adviser in order for the schools to receive state aid for student financial assistance. Because Stanford is a private school, it does not need to adhere to the new law. A non-profit started by Meyer's parents hopes to have a version of the law in all 50 states.
