That means Beckman "lost." $250k is a parking ticket to DIA, they probably spent more on his 2012-15 visor collection. If he had any decent leverage the University would have spent more just to save the cost of filing a meritorious summary dismissal motion. The fact that Beckman's lawyers couldn't even strong arm the University into agreeing to a non-disclosure clause is further evidence. "We're writing down a number on this sheet of paper, Mr. Beckman. I suggest you take it because it won't be offered again."
And so that's the end of that. It will be a while before we hear that name again.
