University of Michigan fires gymnastics coach with Nassar ties
University of Michigan fires gymnastics coach with Nassar tiesThe University of Michigan’s Athletic Department fired gymnastics assistant coach Rhonda Faehn from her consulting role on Sunday, Jan. 13, after some regents spoke out against the hire.
“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,” UM Athletic Director Warde Manuel said in a statement. “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.”
Manuel’s decision came after Regents Jordan Acker, Mark Bernstein and Denise Ilitch criticized the decision to hire the former USA Gymnastics coach, expressing concerns about her response to Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse of gymnasts.
