University of Michigan issued the following announcement on Sept. 15.

While acknowledging missteps in how University of Michigan leaders have engaged with the campus community in recent months, President Mark Schlissel and Provost Susan M. Collins say they will work hard to restore trust and transparency moving forward.

Schlissel and Collins spoke for 45 minutes during an online, campuswide town hall Sept. 15, primarily addressing topics that have grown out of criticism of how U-M has handled its hybrid fall semester under a coronavirus pandemic, and issues of racial injustice.

They vowed to work to rebuild trust by engaging more with the campus community, and Collins announced an effort designed to tackle the topic of campus policing and promote a safe environment for all, with a goal of making the Division of Public Safety & Security a national model for public safety on a university campus.
