Michigan State University Negotiates a $15 Million Settlement With Families of Students Killed in Mass Shooting

Michigan State University negotiated a $15 million settlement with the families of the three students killed on Feb. 13, according to records obtained through a public records request to the university.

Families or estates of victims Alexandria Verner, Arielle Anderson, and Brian Fraser each will receive $5 million. This settlement is the result of “extensive settlement negotiations over many months,” said Ven Johnson, who represented the families of Anderson and Fraser.

In December, MSU approved the settlements, but declined to discuss the terms. In original legal agreements with Anderson and Fraser the school also included language requiring families to not disclose the settlements, but that language was struck in agreements signed by Johnson and released to the State Journal by MSU.
