Education Department Launches Investigation Into University of Michigan
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Department of Education (DOE) on Tuesday announced that it's opening a "foreign funding" investigation into the University of Michigan. Newsweek reached out to the university for comment via email on Tuesday. What To Know "Today, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of the General Counsel (OGC) opened a foreign funding investigation into the University of Michigan (UM) after a review of the university's foreign reports revealed inaccurate and incomplete disclosures," the DOE said in a news release. Paul Moore, the chief investigative counsel, issued a statement accompanying the news release accusing the state school of "downplaying its vulnerabilities to malign foreign influence," adding that "recent reports reveal that UM's research laboratories remain vulnerable to sabotage" by Chinese foreign nationals. Moore specifically pointed to recent criminal charges that the Department of Justice brought against two Chinese nationals accused of conspiracy and smuggling material into the U.S. that could be a "potential agroterrorism weapon." "As the recipient of federal research funding, UM has both a moral and legal obligation to be completely transparent about its foreign partnerships," Moore said. He added: "OGC will vigorously investigate this matter to ensure that the American people know the true scope of foreign funding and influence on our campuses."

Most of the visitors posted shots of themselves in Ann Arbor wearing maize and blue, either from their photo shoot inside Schembechler Hall or their visit to The Big House.

Michigan baseball blasts Ohio State, 23-1, on Saturday
Michigan baseball blasts Ohio State, 23-1, on Saturday That's a BIG Rivalary Win! Our largest victory over OSU in program history! #GoBlue — Michigan Baseball (@umichbaseball) May 3, 2025 Just like football. Michigan baseball hasn't had a lot of rivalry challenges thus far, only having a series and a one-off with Michigan State, and the Wolverines have won all four of those contests. The maize and blue were set to take on rival Ohio State on Friday night, but that opening contest of the four-game series was postponed, and Saturday's game was on with the weather clear. And the Wolverines blasted the Buckeyes in spectacular fashion. Behind a big fourth inning, Michigan baseball posted what looks closer to a football score than a baseball one. The Wolverines scored 16 runs in the fourth inning, with four hits, eight walks, and five players being hit by a pitch. Ultimately, the maize and blue took the first game against the scarlet and grey, 23-1. Infielder Cole Caruso was the player of the game, having gone 3-for-4 with four RBIs. The Wolverines won this contest with only one home run, courtesy of right fielder Robert Hamchuk. Michigan had 13 hits, including five doubles, but also left nine runners on base. Pitcher Kurt Barr went five innings and allowed three hits while striking out four. The Buckeye pitchers ended up hitting six Wolverines over the course of the game.

QB Brady Smigiel commits, Michigan football lands four-star for 2026
As Michigan football players hear their name called in the 2025 NFL Draft, the program may have just landed a quarterback who could hear his name called in the future. Brady Smigiel, a four-star class of 2026 quarterback from Newbury Park, California, has pledged to join the Wolverines, he announced on social media with a short and simple message in the early afternoon on April 26. Advertisement "All Glory to God — Go Blue! #committed," Smigiel wrote. This came just minutes after coach Sherrone Moore posted on social media "YesSir #GoBlue" with a pair of eyeball emojis. New offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey also chimed in, celebrating the commitment, the first he has secured as a member of the Michigan staff. Smigiel is ranked the No. 7 quarterback in the nation, the No. 12 player in California and the No. 80 overall player in the class of 2026, according to 247 Sports' composite rankings. Smigel was previously committed to Florida State, but when he decommitted in late January and reopened himself to the process, U-M pounced. "Smigiel is a big, strong armed pocket passer who has put up huge numbers since his freshman season," wrote 247 Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins. "At the recent Under Armour Next Camp in SoCal, he had a very strong showing, with a tightened release and his usual trademark accuracy to all three levels of the field. "He's very accurate down the field, knows how to change speeds and throws with really nice touch but can put plenty of heat on his throws when he needs to." Of course, the Wolverines have a star quarterback in the fold in Bryce Underwood who is entering his true freshman season and is expected to be the face of the program through at least through the 2027 season. Advertisement Still, that didn't prevent Smigiel from joining U-M and Lindsey's offense, which showed in the spring game April 19 that it will look to attack vertically downfield — a dream for passers and something not previously seen in Ann Arbor. "He's a tough kid, will stand in and take a shot and not flinch," Biggins continued. "Great natural leader, locker room guy and teammate. Very high football lQ, dad is his coach so he has been around the game and has a good natural feel for playing the position. "Has decent pocket mobility, not a great runner but can buy time and is good making throws outside the pocket. Projects as a high major Power 4 prospect with Sunday potential." The 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect is a true pocket passer and now the highest rated recruit in U-M's class of 2026, joining four-star cornerback Brody Jennings (Jacksonville, Florida), four-star offensive lineman Bear McWhorter (Cartersville, Georgia) and three-star wide receiver Jaylen Pile (Dallas). Newbury Park High quarterback Brady Smigiel is Ventura County Star All-County Football Offensive Player of the Year on Friday, Dec. 8, 2023.
