A University of Michigan employee informed police someone accessed the school's email accounts inside Schembechler Hall without proper authorization, according to online records.
The
University of Michigan's daily crime logshows the report occurred at 12:44 p.m. on Jan. 5, when U-M police investigated the matter. Schembechler Hall is home to the offices of a number of employees, including head coach Jim Harbaugh and
recently suspended co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss.
"An employee reported fraudulent activity involving someone accessing university emails accounts without authorization," the log reads. "Upon further investigation, it was found that a crime may have been committed."
Initial reports surfaced Tuesday night that a Michigan coach was being investigated for computer related crimes. Later that evening, Michigan football spokesman Dave Ablauf confirmed to the Free Press that Weiss had been placed on leave.
U-M Deputy Police Chief Crystal James confirmed in a statement there was a computer access crime inside Schembechler Hall in late December.
"The University of Michigan Police Department (UMPD) is investigating a report of computer access crimes that occurred at Schembechler Hall during December 21-23, 2022," the statement read. "Since this is an ongoing investigation, there is no additional information to share."
Dec. 21-23 was the NCAA three-day early signing period for college football.
