Florida advances proposal to halt H-1B recruitment at public universities following federal fee hike
Florida has moved closer to banning the hiring of new H-1B visa holders at its public universities after a committee of the State University System’s Board of Governors advanced the proposal for public comment. The measure, which would run through January 5 next year, follows a $100,000 federal visa fee and similar action in Texas. Faculty and student leaders warned the restriction could hinder recruitment in medicine, engineering and research.
