Wright State 'poster child' for abuses of worker visa program

October 4, 2015

“Wright State is going to be the kind of poster child for the kinds of abuses that are occurring under the guest worker program,” said Hal Salzman, a senior fellow at the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University.

Wright State is under federal investigation because it held H-1B work visas for foreign workers who didn’t work at the school. The university’s provost and a researcher have been demoted, WSU’s chief general counsel was forced into retirement and another top administrator was fired.
