The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor removed its provost on Wednesday amid an external investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct.
Officials will decide whether to remove Philbert from Michigan’s faculty after the investigation concludes.
Martin A. Philbert, who was also the university’s executive vice president for academic affairs, remains on paid administrative leave, as he has been since the allegations surfaced, in January.
President Mark S. Schlissel said in a letter on Wednesday that he’d lost confidence in Philbert’s ability to lead, given information that the investigation had uncovered. More than 20 women have made allegations against Philbert, according to news reports.
