Education Management Corp. agreed to pay approximately 31 million to settle multistate litigation alleging that it violated False Claims Act provisions by falsely certifying that it was in compliance with Title IV of the Higher Education Act and parallel state statutes. This was part of a larger 95 million settlement involving the federal government; ###-education-management-corp. The case announcement did not mention the state figure explicitly but listed the total settlement amount and the other portions, suggesting that the remainder would go to the states.
