And Now a Medical School in Trouble for Apparent Fraud

To avoid criminal charges the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey has permitted itself to be taken over by a federal monitor. Apparently double billing, Medicare fraud, and other irregularities. The deal apparently is in lieu of criminal prosecution. But if there is massive financial fraud, shouldn't a medical school be treated just like Enron?
