Former Southern University band director Nathan Haymer used an unauthorized third party to collect public funds due to the school and then kept more than $293,000 in possible violation of state and federal laws, Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera said in a report issued Monday morning.

Haymer set up the collection system without approval of the school and used some of the money for personal purposes, according to a summary that accompanied the 45-page review.

It says the Southern University System Foundation System got about $84,000 from the collections.The report also says Haymer appears to have submitted false invoices to obtain reimbursement for expenses he did not incur, for which he was paid $46,719 from Southern University, the Southern University System Foundation and the Southern University Alumni Foundation, Purpera said.

The review says Haymer received $43,900 in payments from Mardi Gras krewes for Southern University band performances during Mardi Gras parades and other events from February, 2015 to February, 2018. This is the guy that the community was trying to reinstate

Not really surprised.

Everyone working at Southern has their own scam, from the person in the registrar's office selling credits / degrees up to the school president wetting his beak on everything then stealing everything not nailed down in his office when they finally fire him.

On the surface of it, given these type of reported scandals. Southern seems as respectable and well run as your average country on the African Continent.

so you're telling me Southern had another scandal of people committing fraud without any oversight? NO WAY

i wonder if the university just chalks these Ls up and begs for no real police investigation to protect whatever schemes are currently ongoing

“In possible violation”... this is laughable. Damn right it was/is a violation.

At Southern, the band leader is maybe the most well-know person on campus and has a lot of influence. Honestly, this "scam" is no different that what the Saban, Miles, Coach O, Coach K of the worlds do, however the big schools were smart enough to setup a kinda legal way to do it.

Nice how they let that audit take a year and then quietly release it without fanfare. To be followed by them not doing shite about it.
