The LSU Office of the Internal Audit’s report on former Tiger Band Director Roy King was released Monday–the same day King filed a lawsuit against the University.

According to the document, the audit found King distributed Athletics Band Scholarships to LSU Golden Girls and Color Guard without approval, was unable to account for $5,429.45 advanced for student travel, circumvented policies and College of Music and Dramatic Arts directives, released confidential personnel information, violated the University’s nepotism policy and repeatedly violated the procurement card policies.

The lawsuit filed Monday refuted these claims, also arguing that “it has been no secret that the Administration in the LSU School of Music desires to obtain the entirety of the Golden Band budget from Athletics use for School of Music purposes not necessarily related to the Golden Band.”

The lawsuit later goes onto to describe an alleged incident where School of Music administrators, primarily then School of Music Dean Larry Kaptain and the then CMDA Associate Dean Jane Cassidy, offered to pay him “an illegal bribe/extortion.” Cassidy is now the Senior Vice Provost for Human Resources and Academic Space Management.

LSU Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard said numerous claims in the lawsuit, including the funding dispute, were false.

“As previously stated, the notion of a ‘money grab’ by the School of Music is false and, along with the lawsuit as a whole, has been orchestrated by Mr. King and his attorney to distract from the real issues behind his termination,” Ballard’s statement said.
