The University of Michigan released the findings of an investigation into its athletic department culture on July 20. Conducted by the Jenner & Block law firm, the report revealed failures by athletic director Warde Manuel to address allegations effectively. The investigation was prompted by the inappropriate relationship between former football coach Sherrone Moore and subordinate Paige Shiver. As part of the response, the university plans to review human resources and compliance policies, with an emphasis on strengthening accountability and support systems. Manuel will step down at the end of the year, and President Domenico Grasso outlined the commitment to restoring the program’s integrity.
