COLUMBUS – The family of a Delaware area student who died from alcohol poisoning while pledging a fraternity will receive nearly $3 million from Bowling Green State University to settle its hazing-related lawsuit.
A copy of the agreement announced Monday says the family of Stone Foltz and the university will work together to eliminate hazing on college campuses.
A university investigation found that Foltz died of alcohol poisoning in March 2021 after a fraternity event where there was a tradition of new members attempting to finish a bottle of alcohol.
Both sides say the settlement will allow them to focus on ending hazing.
