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 rolled the university.
