The University of Michigan fired head football coach Sherrone Moore after an internal probe found an inappropriate relationship with a staff member; prosecutors later charged him with home invasion and stalking after an alleged break‑in and threats. Interim university leaders pledged renewed work to strengthen campus culture following multiple high‑profile ethics and misconduct episodes in recent years. The athletics‑linked misconduct caps a string of governance crises at the Ann Arbor flagship that previously led to the removal of a provost and the firing of a president. Faculty, students and alumni have demanded structural reforms—including clearer reporting channels, supervisor‑subordinate relationship policies, and stronger oversight of high‑profile staff. The case raises questions for public research universities about the intersection of athletics governance, personnel policy, Title IX compliance and criminal accountability; trustees and legal counsels are balancing fast public action with due‑process obligations.
