“UPDATED: EMU to pay slain student’s family $2.5 million,” an extensive piece in the Ann Arbor News that I thought deserved a new post. Two (among many) things I think are worth noting in the piece: first, to quote directly, “Dickinson’s family had not sued EMU, but the settlement was reached to preempt any lawsuit.” Second, there’s no mention here about insurance; in fact, BoR member Roy Wilbanks is quoted as saying “The cost just continues to escalate.”

Here’s a link to the The Chronicle article:
“Eastern Michigan U. Will Pay $2.5-Million to Settle Case With Family of Student Who Was Murdered”
I didn’t interpret Wilbanks’ statement as excluding insurance absorbing at least some of the university’s costs for the settlement, by the way.
Michigan Universities Self Insurance Corporation (MUSIC): covers general liability, errors and omissions liability. The settlement agreement states that “EMU and MUSIC will pay…”
I suspect EMU pays the deductible, MUSIC pays the rest up to the cap on coverage.
