ANN ARBOR -- He says he had little input, but Jim Harbaugh is standing by his employer's decision to let Grant Perry back on the Michigan football team.

The junior receiver from Bloomfield Hills was granted full reinstatement by the University of Michigan on Friday, with athletic director Warde Manuel saying in a statement Perry had "met every institutional expectation."

Warde's ruling came one week after Perry was sentenced to 12 months probation and 60 hours of community service stemming from an October assault in East Lansing.

"I support Wade and his decision," Harbaugh said.
