American Commercial College settles federal false claims case

A Lubbock-based career college has settled a dispute with the federal government in a whistle-blower suit over falsified financial reporting.

American Commercial College has agreed to pay at least $1 million over the next five years to settle a suit alleging that the school falsified financial reports so that it could qualify for federal student aid funds.

According to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington issued late Friday, May 31, the college might have to pay an additional $1.5 million under a contingency clause in the settlement.

H. Grady Terrill, attorney for the school, said he anticipates the Lubbock campus reopening after re-applying for a license. Two other campuses that came under federal scrutiny are open.
