BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- An audit by the Southern University System is questioning why about $300,000 in band camp and other fees wound up in the personal bank accounts of Nathan Haymer, the school's former band director.
The findings have been turned over to the offices of East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III and Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera, officials said Thursday.
Haymer was fired by the school on May 1 amid accusations that he requested kickbacks for the band to appear at an event for schoolchildren.
Haymer has denied the claims.
He could not be reached for comment Thursday on the latest issue.
Haymer's attorney, Karl Bernard of New Orleans, reviewed the audit after being asked to do so by a reporter.
