In the fall of 2021, Eastern Michigan University announced that it would not renew the charter of Ann Arbor Learning Community (AALC) , which was scheduled to expire in the summer of 2022, citing a steep drop  in enrollment and other concerns. AALC contended that it should not be penalized for the enrollment drop, alleging that GEE, as its management company, had falsely inflated AALC's enrollment figures to increase GEE's revenues. AALC terminated GEE's management contract, and GEE sued AALC for unpaid fees in the Washtenaw County Circuit Court. Schools. Michigan.
