Dear Colleagues,

The following statement is being released to the media today. We are pleased to reach this agreement with the Meixner family and greatly appreciate their partnership and ongoing commitment to improving safety, security and support for the University of Arizona community.

The family of Professor Thomas Meixner and the Arizona Board of Regents and University of Arizona have agreed to a resolution of the legal claims arising from Professor Meixner’s death.  The agreement includes a monetary settlement for the family, and non-monetary commitments that affirm the University’s continuing support for the well-being of those most affected by these events, and that provide the family with a voice in the University’s planning and implementation of measures designed to improve the safety and security of the University community.

Sincerely,
