BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A new audit raises questions about spending at North Dakota State University's graduate school, saying that student fees have been used to buy first-class plane tickets for the school's dean.

The audit questions how NDSU and the University of North Dakota use the fees they require students to pay.

The audit is being presented to legislators Thursday.

The report says student fee money has been spent on everything from first-class plane tickets to iPads for some NDSU employees.

UND used fee money to buy "Greek Life'' T-shirts.

Some fees are being used to build up large reserve funds.

It says UND's business school has a $370,000 reserve from the $150 semester fees that business students pay.

University officials dispute some of the audit's findings.
