St. Louis University, in St. Louis, Missouri, has agreed to pay $1 million to settle allegations that its School of Public Health violated the FCA by mischarging supplemental pay for its faculty members to federally funded grants.
The whistleblower suit alleged that the school engaged in a scheme to defraud the government by overstating the time certain faculty members were spending on grants received from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
