Michigan Board of Regents meeting omits athletics director and investigation from agenda

The University of Michigan's Board of Regents will not discuss athletics director Warde Manuel or the findings of an independent investigation into the athletics department at its Thursday meeting. The board's agenda, posted Tuesday, does not list either topic.

A source told CBS Sports on Wednesday that no plans exist to add the items. A university spokesperson stated Wednesday afternoon that Manuel remains the athletics director and that no decision has been made about his future.

Block began reviewing the athletics department in December after football coach Sherrone Moore was fired for an undisclosed workplace relationship with a subordinate. The investigation later expanded to examine the department's overall culture. The university has spent more than $11 million on the review.

Interim president Dominic Grasso said in December that the school would act on credible findings.

Related litigation Paige Shiver, the staff member involved in the Moore case, is suing the university to obtain records from the investigation. Her attorney, Andrew Stroth, said she is seeking the full Jenner & Block report. The university has denied multiple Freedom of Information Act requests filed by Shiver's legal team.

The school maintains that the documents are protected by attorney-client privilege.
