Northeastern University in Seattle will posthumously award a master's degree to Jaahnavi Kandula, the 23-year-old Indian student killed by a speeding police car in January. University chancellor Kenneth Henderson announced the decision, saying Kandula's loss will be deeply felt. She was set to graduate in December. The incident regained attention after bodycam video surfaced of an officer making insensitive remarks about her death. Kandula was struck while crossing the road legally by an officer driving 74 mph in a 25 zone. The remarks sparked outrage and allegations of police brutality. Many are demanding accountability and justice for Kandula.
