According to the New York Daily News, Zawada filed a complaint with the Ann Arbor Police Department for alleged verbal harassment.

Uber is continuing to investigate.

The University of Michigan issued a statement saying,

“We have seen the video. Our dean of students has talked with both the Uber driver and the students. We are extremely disappointed in the behavior depicted in this video. No one should be treated with such disrespect.”
