U regents hear of several serious violations of spending rules by athletics department

An internal audit at the University of Minnesota’s athletic department found serious violations of university policy on spending, including tens of thousands of dollars on alcohol, parties and expensive hotels, during Norwood Teague’s three-year tenure as athletic director.

But a team of outside investigators found little evidence of sexual harassment in the department beyond the scandal that triggered Teague’s abrupt resignation this summer.
