The chancellor for the state's university system said Monday that three resignations at Dickinson State University are related to Friday's disclosure that more than 500 students, mostly from China, were given degrees they hadn't earned.
美国北达科他州立大学系统官员周一宣布，有3人因狄克森州立大学丑闻辞职，他们的审计报告指出，约500名不具备入学资格的外国学在没有完成课程的情况下被授予学位。这些外国学生中的大多数是中国人。

Another 160 Chinese students in DSU's international program don't have either the right credentials or paperwork to be at the school and a small number of those are waiting for degrees that now won't be coming.
另有160名参与该校国际课程的中国学生被发现不具备入学资格，他们中的小部分还在等待着已被取消发放的学位证书。

The information was uncovered in a North Dakota University System audit that cited a deteriorating process throughout the university and a slipshod international program without controls and oversights. Students lacked language proficiency, didn't have transcripts and didn't take the classes they needed for their degrees, the audit said.
“极度缺乏控制和监管”，美国北达科他州立大学系统的审计报告这样评价迪克森州立大学的国际课程项目。报告称，许多学生的语言能力并没有达到相应的入学要求，绝大部分学生没有修够拿到毕业证书所要求达到的学分。

After Chancellor Bill Goetz and new DSU President D.C. Coston made the public disclosure, Doug LaPlante，dean of education, business and applied sciences was found dead in a park near campus of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Goetz did not explain LaPlante's relationship to the turmoil in the international program,But he did confirm that the resignations of DSU Registrar Marshall Melbye, the former Director of Student Recruitment and Enrollment Management Steve Glasser and Vice President of Academic Affairs Jon Brudvig were related.
在教育官员戈茨和该校新任校长D.C.考斯顿联合召开新闻发布会后，该校教育、商业及应用科学学院院长道格•拉普兰特被发现在学校附近的公园开枪自杀。校长考斯顿表示他并不知道拉普兰特的死与国际教育项目是否有关。但他承认该校有三名教师因此事辞职。

Gov. Jack Dalrymple said the situation at DSU is tragic and serious and, for now, he has more questions than answers.
"The main questions are ‘where did this occur,' ‘who's responsible' and ‘could it have been avoided?'" Dalrymple said. He said the university will have to restore public confidence that its academic programs are functioning.
州长达尔林波表示狄克森州立大学目前的处境是惨淡严峻的，但他心中仍有几处疑问。他说，“我最想知道一、是哪里出了问题，二、谁该为此负责，三、此事是否是可被避免的。”达尔林波称该校目前应该重塑公众对其学术能力的信心。
