Coffee at a country club. Luxury suites at the Coliseum. And the college admissions scandal mastermind. An L.A. Times exclusive:
at USC when he tried to smooth talk the university’s athletic director, Pat Haden, over coffee at the Los Angeles Country Club.and one of Haden’s top administrators for coveted admission slots that he sold to his wealthy clients, according to federal prosecutors.
Haden, 66, declined to comment for this story. A source close to Haden, who requested anonymity, said Haden has no recollection of meeting Singer at the country club or a subsequent meeting because they were brief encounters among thousands of meetings and events Haden attended during his time as USC’s athletic director.
“I only ever saw the legitimate side of him,” Kenworthy said. “He used me to get to my friends. That is embarrassing and it makes me really angry. He knew exactly what he was doing.” The email, which Kenworthy sent on a Monday night in late May 2015, got Haden’s attention. Less than 20 minutes later, he sent a message to his assistant and copied Kenworthy.Before sending the email, Kenworthy had reached out to McKay to lay the groundwork for a meeting between Singer and Haden, said Kenworthy and McKay in separate interviews.
FILE - This Jan. 13, 2016 file photo shows the peristyle of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. The University of Southern California's sale of naming rights for Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is being criticized as dishonoring the historic stadium's dedication as a memorial to soldiers who fought and died in World War I.
It was a brief meeting — no more than 10 minutes, Kenworthy recalled. Both Kenworthy and McKay said Singer did nearly all of the talking, going on at length about his prowess as a college admissions counselor, his connections at USC and other universities, and how he worked almost exclusively with wealthy families.
The source close to Haden said it was Haden’s nature to be overly polite to people introduced to him by friends. His enthusiasm here was ampllified because Singer was an acquaintance of Kenworthy. “Pat thank you very much for the special time you spent with me yesterday. You are doing an amazing job at USC,” began Singer, before switching gears. He told Haden he was waiting for the mother to send him the girl’s transcript and admission test scores and that he would send them along. A few minutes later, Singer sent the girl’s information, the emails show. The name of the family was redacted in the emails reviewed by The Times.
Months before Haden asked Heinel if she knew Singer, she was involved in efforts to get the son of a Singer client into USC as a football player, court records filed by prosecutors show.
