Columbia Will Pay $9M to Settle Suit on AIDS Grants

Columbia University has agreed to pay $9 million to settle a federal lawsuit alleging that the university made false claims related to federal grants, Reuters reported. The suit charged that Columbia charged work unrelated to the federal grants to those grants. Columbia admitted to submitting incorrect reports and said that it has made changes to assure that the problem will not happen again, according to the agreement announced by the U.S. attorney for the Southern district of New York.
