Michigan Releases Firing Letter Saying Sherrone Moore Lied in Probe and Violated Conduct Rules

Moore remains charged in the alleged break-in and stalking case with a court hearing set for Jan. 22.

Overview

  • The Dec. 10 termination letter cites an inappropriate supervisor-staffer relationship, violations of morality and public decency standards, and untruthful statements during the investigation as grounds for firing for cause.
  • The university released the letter and other personnel documents in response to a FOIA request but withheld additional requested records and emails.
  • Moore is barred from contacting university employees or student-athletes, prohibited from visiting athletic facilities, deemed ineligible for rehire, and directed to return university property.
  • Police and prosecutors say that hours after his dismissal he entered the staffer’s home and threatened self-harm, leading to charges of third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering.
  • Court records show he was released on a $25,000 bond with conditions that include a GPS tether, mental-health evaluation or treatment, no contact with the staffer, and travel restrictions requiring court permission to leave Michigan.
