Michigan President Calls Former Coach Sherrone Moore's Alleged Relationship with a Staffer 'Painful' Breach of Trust By Charna Flam

University of Michigan President Domenico Grasso said that the university has “no tolerance” for former football coach Sherrone Moore’s alleged relationship with a staff member.

On Wednesday, Dec. 10, “credible” evidence found that Moore, 39, allegedly engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. He was then fired with cause by the university. Hours later, the City of Saline Police Department detained him and he was then turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department.

Then, on Thursday, Dec. 11, Grasso issued a statement confirming that Moore was fired for cause. In the letter, addressed to Michigan “colleagues and students,” Grasso said Moore violated “University policy by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

Grasso said Moore’s employment was “immediately terminated” following the findings from the university’s investigation. 

“There is absolutely no tolerance for this conduct at the University of Michigan,” the statement reads. “This breach of trust by Coach Moore is painful for many in our community, first and foremost, the individuals directly involved in this situation.”

Grasso said the university maintains a “staunch commitment to a campus culture of respect, integrity and accountability,” adding that the University’s investigation is still ongoing.

Pittsfield Township police also issued a statement saying authorities responded to an “alleged assault” on Wednesday, Dec. 10, and the suspect had been taken into custody at Washtenaw County Jail. The department did not name Moore.

Police subsequently said the suspect was set to appear in court for an arraignment on Friday, Dec 12, but did not specify any charges.

The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office said a charging decision was not expected on Thursday because the incident is still under investigation, Dan Wetzel of ESPN reported.

“The matter involving Mr. Moore remains under active investigation by law enforcement, and as a result, we do not expect charging decisions or an arraignment today,” the prosecutor’s office told Wetzel. “Mr. Moore remains in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail.”
