List of 54 'Compromised Colleges' for F-1 Students Shrinks by 16
By David North and Kathleen Sharkey on February 18, 2019
In August 2017 the Center for Immigration Studies published a list of 54 marginal universities — we called them "compromised colleges" — all of which had DHS approval for the admission of foreign students and all of which were only accredited by an entity that, in turn, was "derecognized" by the U.S. Department of Education (DoEd) on the grounds of its own low standards.
Some to many, but not all, of the 54 were clearly visa mills, educational entities organized to secure profits for the managers and owners and work permits for the alien students, while providing little in the way of education. The accrediting entity in trouble with DoEd was the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS); Washington-based, it was set up a century ago to serve the interests of private-for-profit higher education.
