Michigan Hires And Fires Former USA Gymnastics Executive All In One Weekend
Michigan Hires And Fires Former USA Gymnastics Executive All In One WeekendIf you watched the University of Michigan women’s gymnastics team compete this weekend, you might have seen Rhonda Faehn out there on the floor with them. Faehn was the former senior vice president of the women’s program at USA Gymnastics, a role she held with the organization from 2015 until she was canned in 2018 in the middle of a women’s national team training camp.
Faehn’s appearance on the mat was the first time she had been seen, at least in the media, since she testified in front of a senate subcommittee last June. There, Faehn spoke about receiving the first reports of abuse by former team doctor Larry Nassar from Sarah Jantzi, coach of national team member Maggie Nichols, now a star at the University of Oklahoma. Faehn then passed that information onto her boss, Steve Penny.
Faehn never made an independent report to the authorities herself. Indiana, where USA Gymnastics is based and where Faehn received the first call about Nassar, requires that all adults who suspect child abuse to report it to authorities.
