A sweeping investigation into potential labor abuses has expanded to include universities accused of collaborating with employers to undercut wages by exploiting international students on work visas. Authorities are examining whether institutions may have facilitated schemes that deprived American workers of fair employment opportunities. The probe suggests systemic concerns about how visa programs intersect with academic and corporate partnerships. Critics argue such practices could undermine both labor protections and the integrity of higher education.
Visa probe also targets universities for allegedly exploiting international students to reduce US wage costs.
