UMDNJ whistleblower cases cost Rutgers nearly $2M in settlements

From NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, April 26, 2015

NEW BRUNSWICK — Rutgers University has quietly resolved several major whistleblower cases inherited with the merger of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, agreeing to nearly $2 million in settlements with former high-level administrators.

The never-disclosed confidential agreements bring to an end two long-running lawsuits that charged UMDNJ, the state’s troubled former medical university, with wrongful termination over alleged fraud and illegal bidding practices.

In one case, Rutgers earlier this month reached a $1.2 million settlement with Edward Burke, the former chief financial officer of UMDNJ’s University Hospital in Newark, who said he was fired after he accused top administrators of systematically defrauding Medicaid.
