Kentucky asked to join a U.S. lawsuit claiming that Education Management Corp., the nation’s second-largest for-profit college chain, used improper recruitment practices to secure more than $11 billion in student aid.
Attorney General Jack Conway filed to intervene in federal court in Pittsburgh, where the Justice Department and four states filed a complaint yesterday claiming Education Management illegally paid recruiters based on the number of students signed up, a violation of rules for colleges that get U.S. student grants and loans.
