谢伦·摩尔(Sherrone Moore)的前行政助理佩奇·希弗(Paige Shiver)已就密歇根大学涉嫌违反《信息自由法》提起诉讼 [1]。希弗在诉状中指控该校拒绝了其关于解雇摩尔相关调查的信息公开请求 [1]。此前,谢伦·摩尔因与希弗存在不当关系而被解雇并认罪 [1]。
诉讼细节显示,密歇根大学曾花费 1200 万美元聘请 Jenner & Block 律师事务所对事件进行调查,但随后拒绝公布调查结果 [1]。在起诉前,希弗曾在二月至六月期间多次提交信息公开申请,均遭到校方驳回 [1]。与此同时,谢伦·摩尔已于四月认罪并被判处 18 个月缓刑 [1]。
Paige Shiver, the former administrative assistant to football coach Sherrone Moore, has filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan alleging that the institution violated the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to release investigation documents [1]. The legal action stems from an inquiry into allegations of an inappropriate relationship between Moore and Shiver, which resulted in Moore's termination and subsequent guilty plea [1]. During this period, April through June, Shiver submitted multiple requests for records that were denied by the university [1]. While the school spent $12 million hiring Jenner & Block to conduct the investigation into these allegations, it has refused to make the results public [1]. Moore pleaded guilty in April and was sentenced to 18 months of probation following his dismissal from the program [1].
