USA Gymnastics says it "immediately notified law enforcement" about Larry Nassar. But emails, interviews and documents tell a different story. Stephen J. Beard, stephen.beard@indystar.com
The University of Michigan has fired a gymnastics coach who at her previous job at USA Gymnastics was told Larry Nassar was sexually assaulting gymnasts but waited at least a month before reporting it to authorities. Rhonda Faehn lasted less than one week at U-M.
The move generated fierce and passionate criticism in her brief time at the Ann Arbor school.
“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 press release issued Sunday night.
