USC athletic director Pat Haden, who last week announced that he will retire at the end of June, needed was taken off campus in an ambulance after he apparently felt lightheaded while walking.
Haden, who turned 63 last month, was ''alert and talking’’ throughout the incident, according to a USC spokesperson, and there was no immediate indication how long Haden might be under medical care.
Haden, according to the school, was walking back to Heritage Hall after an on-campus meeting when he ''felt a little lightheaded and sat down.’’ USC medical personnel then tended to Haden, who at one point walked back to his office.
