The parents of Stone Foltz and their attorney announced Monday that they have reached a record $2.9 million settlement with Bowling Green State University regarding the 2021 hazing death of their son.
In a joint statement, BGSU and the Foltz family said Stone's death would remain an important part of anti-hazing efforts for years to come.
“The Foltz family and Bowling Green State University are forever impacted by the tragic death of Stone Foltz. This resolution keeps the Foltz family and BGSU community from reliving the tragedy for years to come in the courtroom and allows us to focus on furthering our shared mission of eradicating hazing in Ohio and across the nation. Leading these efforts in our communities is the real work that honors Stone.”
Shari and Cory Foltz conducted a news conference at 11 a.m. in Columbus with their attorney Rex Elliott. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the school in June 2022, claiming it was responsible for Foltz's March 7, 2021, hazing death after he attended an event and an off-campus fraternity house.
Shari Foltz said the settlement will assist the Stone Foltz Foundation's efforts to stop hazing on college campuses.
