Higher Education institutions face increasing and novel legal risks under the False Claims Act (FCA) in light of the current administration's effort to deploy the FCA to enforce its policy objectives. In this Hogan Lovells podcast, partners from the firm's Education and Investigations practices analyze how the Department of Justice is seeking to use the FCA against universities, which certify compliance with federal laws in order to receive funds for financial aid and research.
Learn about the investigation process, FCA defenses, risks posed by whistleblowers, and practical steps that university counsel can take now to help mitigate potential FCA investigations and costly litigation.
