Overview
- The University of Michigan Board of Regents is scheduled to meet Thursday, July 16, to review the completed Jenner & Block findings into the athletics department and consider next steps.
- Multiple national outlets report the school is negotiating possible exit terms for athletic director Warde Manuel though the university has made no personnel announcement.
- Manuel has told reporters he expects to remain in the near term and said he has been in ongoing conversations with university leadership.
- Manuel’s 2024 contract runs through June 2030 and includes a clause that could require up to 36 months of severance pay if he is terminated without cause.
- The Jenner & Block probe began after the December firing and arrest of football coach Sherrone Moore and has been amplified by a new lawsuit from Paige Shiver seeking internal emails and public records.
