University of Michigan president vows 'evaluation of culture' following Sherrone Moore's arrest

The University of Michigan "will leave no stone unturned" in a thorough "evaluation of culture" in the school's scandal-plagued athletic department, its president said Wednesday, days after football coach Sherrone Moore was fired and arrested.
Interim university President Domenico Grasso's 3½-minute-long video address follows the Dec. 10 termination of Moore, who is alleged to have carried on an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member.
Moore was arrested hours later after, police said, he broke into his former lover’s home and threatened to kill himself, telling her that his "blood is on your hands," prosecutors said.
"This past week has been a difficult one for the University of Michigan," Grasso said.
"I want to underscore that the University of Michigan is committed to a campus culture of respect, integrity and excellence. That is why we took decisive action last week to terminate the employment of coach Moore and we are continuing the investigation of coach Moore's actions to uncover any additional germane, material information and to assess whether there may be related misconduct by others."
