The University of Michigan dismissed head football coach Sherrone Moore after an internal probe found he had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member; prosecutors then charged him with home invasion, stalking and other counts after an alleged post‑firing incident. The university moved swiftly to remove him amid mounting criminal allegations and an ongoing investigation. The episode reopened scrutiny of leadership, campus culture, and prior high-profile personnel scandals at Michigan, including earlier misconduct findings involving senior administrators. Interim president Domenico Grasso emphasized ongoing investigative and disciplinary steps; the university must now address athletics oversight, Title IX enforcement, and community trust while managing legal and reputational fallout. Donors, alumni and accreditation stakeholders will be monitoring the campus response as Michigan implements steps intended to prevent similar breakdowns in supervision and conduct.
