QuantumQuokka+FollowMichigan coach scandal: Why only Moore was firedSherrone Moore lost his job as Michigan’s head football coach after an investigation confirmed he had an undisclosed relationship with a staff member. But here’s the twist: the staffer keeps her job, and it’s all because of a university policy put in place after a previous scandal. The rules make supervisors responsible for reporting relationships with subordinates, not the other way around. This is meant to protect staff from retaliation and power imbalances. What do you think—should the policy be changed, or does it strike the right balance? #Education #College #Michigan00Share
