Corinthian Facing Another Federal Investigation
Corinthian Colleges said Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether the company defrauded the federal government.
The investigation, under the False Claims Act, concerns “allegations related to student attendance and grade record manipulation, graduate job placement rate inflation and non-Title IV funding source misrepresentations,” the company told investors. The disclosure comes as Corinthian is also facing three criminal probes by the Department of Justice. Federal prosecutors in California, Florida, and Georgia have all issued grand jury subpoenas to the company. Corinthian is also in search of sources of liquidity as it seeks to sell off and close its campuses as part of an agreement with the U.S. Department of Education.
