Another USA college busted; University of Northern Virginia

Dear friends,
Just yesterday, as I was talking about Wigan and Leigh College, UK  another college in the USA was being busted.
The University of Northern Virginia where several Indian students are enrolled, was raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents (ICE).
The officials from ICE’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has asked UNV to stop admitting foreign students. This is another scam which is similar to TVU, involving student visa irregularities.  If UNV is also found to be engaged in improper handling of student visas, then it could face harsh consequences.  ICE is on with its investigation.
There are several such unaccredited colleges which are thriving in the USA. They mostly enroll foreign students. California and Virginia are the hubs where such sham colleges flourish as the regulations are lax there. Now what will happen to Daniel Ho, the owner of UNV? More importantly, what will happen to Indian students there?
Watch out this space for more updates!
