I can understand the desire to settle. Columbia is an important institution but not as important as Harvard. The judges in NY lean left and they would be the ones deciding on the verdict and the penalties and there is no guarantee the judgement would go even as far as this settlement.
I would take it, set a low bar, minimum acceptable penalty and then go after more with each new target.
