Two former admissions employees at Keiser University lost their bid to boost their attorney fees award on a financial aid fraud claim from $60,000 to $1 million with an opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Wednesday.
A three-judge panel ruled that a $335,000 settlement the federal government reached with the South Florida university was fair and that U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas of the Southern District of Florida was right to uphold it. The panel included Judges Frank Hull and Beverly Martin of the Eleventh plus Judge David Ebel of the Tenth Circuit.
