UM: Bill Martin

The Michigan Daily is one of several publications reporting on an incident involving UM athletic director Bill Martin, who recently apologized for physical contact with two students in separate incidents. The students, who were working security near the Regents Guest Area at Michigan Stadium, did not recognize Martin and initially did not let him enter. The Daily describes an encounter with one of the students, Arif Kahn, who reported that “a man and woman, both elderly, tried to enter the area and walked past him ‘as if he wasn’t there,’ according to the [police] report. Kahn said he put his hand on the door and asked to see their passes. In response, the man ‘forcibly grabbed’ Kahn’s windbreaker and pushed him slightly. The man then said, ‘I am the athletic director, I can go in,’ according to the report.” [Source]
