The University of Michigan will pay Rhonda Faehn, a gymnastics coach fired after outcry over her ties to the Larry Nassar scandal, $15,000 for her four days of work at the school.

U-M signed Faehn to a $15,000-per-month contract through May 31, 2019, Kurt Svoboda, a U-M athletic department spokesman, told the Free Press. The university would also pay expenses for her. It's unclear how much that would have cost.

U-M hired Faehn on Thursday. On Friday, she was with the team for a meet. On Saturday, a massive social media outcry roiled the university. On Sunday, several members of the board demanded the university fire her, which it did late Sunday night.

The contract had a clause in it determining that the university could let her go at any time, but would have to give her one month's notice. In essence, that means U-M will pay her one month's salary, Svoboda said.

Faehn is believed to be the first USA Gymnastics official told of Nassar's abuse.

Faehn was never formally implicated in the Nassar scandal, which included hundreds of allegations of sexual abuse under the guise of Nassar's medical treatment. But she was ousted as the head of the USA Gymnastics women's program in May, a week after Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman called for her to step down in an interview with the Indianapolis Star.

"I reported my abuse to Rhonda Faehn and so did Maggie Nichols, and I don't know what she did or didn't do with that information, but I didn't get contacted by the FBI for over a year, and in that time 50 to 100 gymnasts were molested," Raisman told the Star in May 2018.

Faehn, senior vice president for women's programs, was first told about what USA Gymnastics has characterized as "athlete concerns" about Nassar on June 17, 2015, according to a timeline provided in 2017 by the Indianapolis-based national governing body.

About a month later, Raisman said, she told Faehn "in graphic detail" what Nassar had done to her, but Faehn and other USA Gymnastics officials still waited another week to report Nassar to the FBI.

Faehn and former USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny were criticized for not immediately calling police. Instead, Penny hired an investigator who interviewed Nichols, Raisman and McKayla Maroney. Only then, almost six weeks after the initial complaint, was the FBI contacted. Faehn also has been criticized for not contacting MSU about the allegations against Nassar.

After she was hired by U-M, many Nassar survivors took to social media to complain, saying that Faehn's silence, even as others were speaking up, was disqualifying.

On Sunday, U-M athletic director Warde Manuel terminated the contract.

“I have come to the conclusion that it is not in the best interest of the University of Michigan and our athletic program to continue the consulting contract with Rhonda Faehn,” Warde Manuel, the university’s athletics director, said in a news release issued at 9 p.m. Sunday.

“It was the wrong decision, and I apologize. Our student-athletes are our highest priority and I want to do everything in my power to support them fully and put the focus back on their athletic performance.”
