FILE - William Schultz is flanked by his attorneys, Brian Spears and L. Chris Stewart, as he speaks to reporters at Stewart's office in Atlanta on Thursday, Sept. 12, 2019. The parents of a Georgia Tech student killed by a campus police officer four years ago have settled a lawsuit against the university for $1 million, their lawyer said Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021.
Schultz's parents, William and Lynne Schultz, filed the wrongful death lawsuit two years ago. It alleged that Beck used excessive force and wasn't sufficiently trained to respond to situations involving people experiencing mental health crises. The settlement was reached about two weeks ago, Schultz attorney L. Chris Stewart said.
The university also expanded the LGBTQIA Resource Center and received $1 million in contributions for LGBTQIA student mental health and wellness initiatives, Stewart said.
