Mild Rapture: A Federal Agency Cracks Down on Crappy Colleges
By David North, December 13, 2016
One of the problems with the current immigration system is that fourth-rate, or even phony, universities can cause the admissions of foreign students who rarely, if ever, visit the classrooms but use their "student" visa status to work in the U.S. I call them visa mills.
The mildly good news is that life for these visa mills will get a little harder, not because the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has done anything useful on this front, but because the U.S. Department of Education has.
The person to be praised is the recently appointed, and soon to be displaced, Secretary of Education, John B. King Jr. May some large and respected university choose him for its president!
More specifically, Secretary King (after months of staff work and consultations with a high-level advisory committee) decided on Monday to withdraw federal recognition of a borderline accreditation agency that, in turn, had been accrediting borderline-to-bogus post-secondary educational institutions.
