US Justice Department accused university of improperly charging graduate student stipends, tuition remission and more to NSF awards for 12 years
Rice University in Texas has paid the US government more than $3.7 million (£3 million) to settle allegations that it defrauded the US National Science Foundation (NSF) on research grants for almost 12 years, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) recently announced. The figure is double the amount lost by the US from these purported illicit activities.
