DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will discuss developments in the False Claims Act and particularly how the False Claims Act applies to educational institutions. We will cover the fundamentals of False Claims Act investigations and litigation, discuss recent key developments in the area, and examine how the False Claims Act has been applied to educational institutions. Among other topics, we will discuss how the False Claims Act has been applied in the case law to educational institutions in connection with Title VI student financial aid funding, federal research grant programs, in the area of cybersecurity, and—for those educational institutions with medical facilities—in Medicare and other government funding of medical services.
