Around 2,600 foreign students could be deported
from Britain
after their university was stripped of its ability to
sponsor
visas for pupils beyond the European Union, the
government
announced Thursday. The move provoked dismay
from
students and accusations that the move by the
Conservative-
led government, which is bent on reducing
immigration, could
damage Britain’s global reputation.
London Metropolitan University has lost its
“highly trusted
status” because a survey found significant
problems with the
qualifications of many of its foreign students,
Immigration
Minister Damian Green said.
In a “significant proportion” of cases, there was
no
documentation that students had a good
standard of English,
Green said, and there was no proof that half of
those sampled
were attending lectures. He said the sampling of
the
university’s foreign students indicated that more
than a
quarter did not have current permission to be in
the country.
“Any one of those breaches would be serious,”
Green told
BBC radio. “We found all three of those breaches
at London
Metropolitan.”
A degree from a U.K. university is highly prized
by many
students abroad, and those from outside the
European Union
often pay higher fees than residents. The British
government,
which has cracked down on immigration in
multiple ways,
has pointed to student visas as a category ripe
for abuse by
those who may instead be looking for work.
London Metropolitan has 30,000 students, and
2,600 are
affected by the government’s decision, said
university
spokesman Nick Hansen. Students from other
European
Union countries don’t need visas.
The affected students will have 60 days to find
new sponsors
once they are formally notified by the
government, or they
could be deported. A task force has been set up
to help
genuine students who otherwise qualify for visas,
Universities Minister David Willetts said, but with
the fall term
imminent students have little time to find new
sponsors and
courses.
