Statement Concerning Regent Jordan Acker
The Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs has reviewed the recently-published report concerning Regent Acker’s communications on social media. The reports allege that he divulged private information about a University of Michigan student on an open Slack channel with his colleagues. In this communication he is reported to have lewdly and misogynistically speculated on the student’s sexual activity and posted her picture.
The conduct described in this report is disgusting, a violation of trust and professional standards, and unbecoming of the high office to which Regent Acker has been elected. If these allegations are true, Regent Acker should resign his position immediately.
