University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler on Friday promised greater oversight of athletics department spending after an internal auditor found frequent policy violations under former athletic director Norwood Teague.
Kaler also said his administration will consider discipline for employees who received improper reimbursements, even though the auditor said Tuesday that wasn't necessary.
"It's important that we hold individuals accountable if the facts warrant," Kaler said during a Board of Regents meeting.
Gail Klatt, associate vice president for internal audit, detailed about $19,000 in improper reimbursements for top athletics department officials from the time of Teague's hiring in June 2012 to his resignation last August amid allegations of sexual harassment.
