I always curious how things get so
bad and we do not notice. This cannot be good for any student:
“U. of Northern Virginia's
Approval to Operate Revoked”
“The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia has
revoked the operating certificate of the University of Northern Virginia,
an unaccredited institution that was raided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
officials in 2011 in relation to its enrollment of foreign students. In a letter sent to the institution, the State Council cites
the university's failure to obtain candidacy status with an accrediting agency
approved by the U.S. Department of Education in five years. The letter also states
that the university waived its right to appeal the revocation upon entering
into a 2012 consent agreement that extended the deadline to obtain said
candidacy status until June 1 of this year”.
“The university has been instructed to immediately cease offering
postsecondary educational programs in the Commonwealth of Virginia and to
provide the State Council with enrollment and financial records. The
university, whose Manassas and Annandale locations are certified by the U.S. government to enroll
international students, has also been instructed to confer with the U.S
Department of Homeland Security "to determine viable options” for F-1 visa
holders enrolled at the institution”.
“Officials at the University of Northern Virginia did not
immediately respond to voicemail messages on Monday afternoon. An e-mail to the
general mailbox bounced back as undeliverable”.
International students need protection as well, student services
for all!
