Texas A&M Settles Bonfire Suit

Nearly a decade ago, the annual Texas A&M bonfire collapsed, killing a dozen people.  The school has now settled litigation arising from the tragedy, agreeing to pay $2.1 million and promising to have engineering oversight if the bonfire ever returns to campus.  (Since the collapse, the bonfire has been held off-campus.)

The university had claimed immunity from suit, but an appellate court rejected that claim earlier this year.
