The former executive ******* istant of fired Sherrone Moore is suing the University of Michigan, alleging the school violated the state's Freedom of Information Act by refusing to release records related to the investigation that led to the football coach's dismissal.
Paige Shiver filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Washtenaw County, seeking the requested records and punitive damages after the university denied multiple public records requests submitted on her behalf.
"It was important for our client to file this initial FOIA lawsuit to ensure the truth and facts come out," attorney Andrew M. Stroth said.
University spokesperson Paul Corliss declined to comment.
Moore was fired in December after two seasons as Michigan's head coach, following Jim Harbaugh's departure for the NFL.
