Carlos Briggs, who was fired as an assistant at Detroit back in November now claims that he was wrongly dismissed. According to the Detroit News, Briggs said he volunteered information to officials regarding members of the athletic department trying "to cover up the misconduct of others in the Athletic Department." Briggs also said, ""I came forward because (school president Antoine M. Garibaldi) had asked a prominent alumnus to direct me to the Whistleblower policy of the Current Employees section of Human Resources on the Faculty Staff page of the University website to click on the link to anonymously disclose wrongdoing after the alumnus mentioned the misconduct but not my identity to the President," Briggs wrote on the statement. "I was told the President needed me to do this to help him clean up the problem."
