Former University of Michigan assistant Paige Shiver has filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging officials improperly withheld records connected to the investigation that ultimately resulted in former football coach Sherrone Moore's firing.
According to court documents filed Wednesday, Shiver claims the university violated the Michigan Freedom of Information Act by denying multiple requests for records related to her relationship with Moore while she worked as his assistant, TMZ reports.
Records Request at Center of Lawsuit
Shiver said she first requested records in February 2026, seeking audio recordings, video footage and interview transcripts involving herself, her father and Moore. The university denied that request, citing an ongoing investigation.
She submitted another request last month, but Michigan reportedly rejected it again, arguing the request was overly broad and vague.
The lawsuit asks a court to order the university to release the requested records.
Shiver also sought emails exchanged between Moore and athletic director Warde Manuel containing terms including "affair," "discipline," "abortion," "pregnancy" and "baby." According to the filing, the university declined to release those communications, claiming they fall under exempt information.
Previously, Shiver publicly alleged that Moore got her pregnant before she underwent an abortion because of medical complications.
The latest lawsuit marks another legal development stemming from the investigation surrounding Moore. Rather than challenging the findings themselves, Shiver's filing focuses on whether Michigan improperly withheld records she believes should be available under the state's public records law.
