BISMARCK (AP) -- North Dakota lawmakers have questions today about a Dickinson State University audit that shows the school gave hundreds of degrees to Chinese students who didn't earn them.
The audit shows over seven years, 430 students got bachelor's degrees from Dickinson without having proof they'd taken the required courses.
The university said another 153 Chinese students finished training for an internship with the Disney company. They couldn't prove they had done the work.
North Dakota university system auditor Bill Eggert says the students should have had transcripts from Chinese universities as well as Dickinson State. He says almost none of them did. But they got degrees from Dickinson anyway.
Eggert and Dickinson State President D.C. Coston are speaking today to the Legislature's Higher Education Committee about the problem.
