By ensuring students have a trusted adviser by their side, and by requiring schools to be more transparent about suicide on their campuses, my bill puts student well-being and mental health front and center.
After speaking with Katie’s family, I authored Katie Meyer’s Law to ensure students at higher education institutions have the right to select an independent adviser to help them navigate disciplinary proceedings and to require greater transparency about suicide incidents on campus.
College should be a place where students can learn, grow, and prepare for their futures, not a place where they are left to navigate intimidating and high-stakes disciplinary processes alone.
Distressed by the uncertainty and unable to see a path forward, Katie experienced an acute crisis stress reaction. On March 1, 2022, at only 22 years old, she died by suicide.
The letter was sent late at night after more than three months of silence from the Office of Community Standards.
In February 2022, less than four months before her graduation, Katie received a five-page email from Stanford stating she was facing a disciplinary action that put her degree on hold and could also result in her complete expulsion from the university.
Katie Meyer, a resident of Newbury Park, was a standout goalkeeper who led Stanford University to the 2019 NCAA women’s soccer championship. She was a gifted student, resident advisor, and a future law student awaiting her acceptance to Stanford Law.
Republicans must stop choosing political theater and start working with Democrats to prevent a shutdown and put the health, safety, and security of the American people first.
To avoid a shutdown, we need bipartisan negotiations now. With Republicans controlling the House, Senate, and White House, any shutdown will fall squarely on their shoulders.
And earlier today, President Trump cancelled a meeting with Democrats, refusing to work to keep federal agencies working for the American people.
But instead of working on a bipartisan basis to prevent a shutdown, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans canceled votes and skipped town – with no plan to keep the government open, no plan to lower health care costs, and no plan to help working families.
Government funding runs out in just 7 days.
Today, Republicans in Congress have a choice: join us in ending gerrymandering once and for all or be remembered for undermining the foundation of our democracy.
Independent, citizen-led redistricting strengthens communities, makes elections fairer, and gives voters real power to hold their representatives accountable.
Across the country, Republican-controlled states are redrawing Congressional maps to entrench their power and silence voters. That’s why I recently joined @lofgren.house.gov and @padilla.senate.gov to reintroduce the Redistricting Reform Act to put an end partisan gerrymandering.
This season of renewal offers a moment to reflect, to hope, and to look toward a brighter year ahead. May the new year bring you and your loved ones peace, happiness, and good health.
As families and friends gather to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the New Year, I extend my warmest wishes to all who are observing this meaningful holiday.
