Jordan Acker, a University of Michigan regent who helped lead the university’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian student protesters, is facing fallout after Slack messages attributed to him surfaced containing obscene sexual comments about a Democratic Party strategist and lewd remarks about a female student.

Acker is running for re-election. [34]
