Each of the 21 current and former UC Davis students will receive $30,000. The University of California will also pay $250,000 in plaintiffs' attorney fees and and addition $20,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Under the settlement, UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi will be asked to provide a personal written apology to each of the plaintiffs.
A university task force in April found that campus police violated policy in breaking up the November protest. The settlement will be made final after a formal court hearing.
