Uber executive Eric Alexander was sacked on 7 June for mishandling the medical report of a woman who was raped by an Uber employee in India in 2014. Michael, the Times reported, hasn't been asked to step down but is considering his options.
The board met today for approximately seven hours to discuss a wide range of findings of an investigation law firm Covington and Burling conducted on the company's culture and vote on the recommendations.
San Francisco-based Uber is valued at almost $70bn but is yet to make a profit.
That said, Michael was the the company's most high profile executive to leave the company.
This is of course a possibility, considering that the predictions regarding the Uber SVP of Business have proved to be true. This would make Kalanick's own future in Uber less stable than when he left, particularly if his promise of becoming a better leader a few months ago to employees is proven to be nothing but hot air. The board will also have to take a lot of things into account - including his successor - before it arrives at a decision.
This meeting arrives just days after Uber said it had sacked more than 20 people, and was taking other actions against employees, for issues like sexual harassment and bullying.
Accounts of harassment are now being compiled by the former attorney general Eric H Holder Jr, and findings are expected to be released on Tuesday, 13 June.

Indeed, it is only by virtue of Falcinelli’s prowess in the final third that Crotone still remains in contention to survive. In Romelu Lukaku, Koeman has a player with the capability of firing Everton to far headier heights than seventh place.
According to a representative of Uber's board of directors, it has "unanimously voted to adopt all the recommendations of the Holder Report".
It is possible Mr Kalanick could be forced to take a leave of absence or have his role altered.
She joins an Uber board that includes a voting majority made up of Kalanick, co-founder Garrett Camp, and the company's first employee, Ryan Graves, according to a person familiar with the company.
The probe was overseen by former US Attorney General Eric Holder.
Holder and Arianna Huffington, an Uber board member, declined to comment as they emerged from the meeting. The 40-year-old CEO said earlier this year that he needed to "fundamentally change and grow up". But a major shuffle at the top could hurt the company more than help it, at this point.
While everyday Uber users will likely not see any immediate changes to the service due to these shakeups, experts say this is an attempt by the company to reign in its reputation as an aggressive company that often acts above the law.
