Globe U Pays $400,000 in Whistle-Blower's Suit

A Minnesota jury in 2013 ordered Globe University to pay $400,000 to a dean who accused the for-profit institution of using false job placement statistics -- and now Globe is finally paying the judgment after the last of its legal challenges failed, The Star-Tribune reported. Heidi Weber sued Globe under a state whistle-blower law, an appeals court upheld the jury verdict and the state Supreme Court rejected a challenge to that ruling in March, clearing the way for the payment.
