Sherrone Moore's former assistant sues University of Michigan, claims violations of records requests
The lawsuit seeks records and punitive damages after the university denied FOIA requests for an investigative file tied to Sherrone Moore's firing.
- On Wednesday, Paige Shiver filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan in Washtenaw County court, claiming the school violated the Freedom of Information Act by denying records related to former football coach Sherrone Moore's firing.
- Moore was fired in December after leading the Wolverines for two seasons following Jim Harbaugh's move to the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, then pleaded no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecom device in April, receiving 18 months of probation.
- The University of Michigan paid Jenner & Block $12 million to investigate potential Title IX and Title VII violations within Schembechler Hall and the athletic department, yet the school refuses to release the investigation's findings, according to attorney Andrew Stroth.
- Attorney Julie Murphy submitted a series of FOIA requests from February through June, each denied by the school, prompting attorney Andrew Stroth to file the lawsuit to ensure the truth and facts emerge.
- School spokesman Paul Corliss declined comment on the litigation, while Shiver has stated that the 18 months of probation does not adequately reflect the harm done to her.
