Minnesota became the fifth state to join the federal government in intervening in a False Claims Act case against Education Management Corp., a for-profit network of 101 schools in 31 states and Canada.  Education Management Corp. is alleged to have violated federal education laws, including restrictions on recruiting practices.  Tennessee, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania may also join the case, although Kentucky and Pennsylvania would be limited to recovering under their consumer protection laws since neither state has adopted a False Claims Act.
