The University of Utah announced on Thursday it has agreed to pay a $13.5 million settlement to the parents of Lauren McCluskey, a student and track star who was abducted outside of her residence hall and found murdered in her car a short time later. The announcement came on the second anniversary of her death.

‘We failed Lauren’
In the settlement, the University said for the very first time that McCluskey’s death could have been prevented. University of Utah president Ruth Watkins previously said that she didn’t believe there was anything that could have been done to prevent McCluskey’s murder, despite an independent review that revealed a number of key failures by police. McCluskey’s parents filed two lawsuits against the university, alleging that their daughter’s murder could have been prevented.

Damn right it could have been prevented, if she had not burned the coal in the first place. It remains 100% her fault, but her family failed her by not teaching her enough to avoid the groid. It looks like they'll always be in denial over her failure, because instead of taking responsibility for failing their daughter, they're blaming police.

If you let a wild tiger out of its cage and it starts tracking you, do you blame the zookeeper?
