Judge Dismisses Suit Against UIdaho

A District Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit against the University of Idaho filed by the parents of a student who fell from a fraternity window three years ago. Amanda Andaverde, then a 19-year-old sophomore, suffered debilitating injuries when she fell from an upper story of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Her parents were seeking damages, and recently offered to settle the case for $1 million. The university declined. In a written decision, Second District Court Judge Michael Griffin granted the UI's motion for summary judgement to dismiss the claim/Joel Mills, Lewiston Tribune. More here.
