Virginia Targets ‘Plagiarism’ College that Gave Work Permits to Foreign Grads
NEIL MUNRO21 Mar 2019216
A review board in Virginia has begun the process of shutting down a suspected “visa-mill†college that placed thousands of low-wage foreign graduates into Americans’ white-collar jobs.
Colleges are allowed to get work permits to an unlimited number of fee-paying foreign students and graduates via the federal Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. This huge but little-known OPT program costs the federal government at least $2 billion per year, and it pushes many thousands of American graduates out of good jobs and leaves them with far less money to pay off their college debts.
But Virginia International University (VIU) got into trouble by providing sub-standard educational services to its OPT customers, making it seem as if it is a visa-selling business rather than a legitimate university. In 2017, VIU provided 965 foreigners with OPT work permits, according to federal data.
