Sounds like Princeton should be offering a CPT course for credits during the summer like pretty much every other top-ranked university. Students would likely have to pay some amount of tuition for those credits, but that is not too bad in the context of a paid internship.
USCIS (the agency that adjudicates OPT cases) is likely massively overloaded with processing border asylum cases at the moment - and recent media reports suggest they have been roping in employees who would usually work other parts of the immigration system to work asylum cases.
- djakjxnanjak 7y agoWith an endowment of over $2 million per student, Princeton doesn’t need to charge tuition at all - it’s a choice they can make though.
- killjoywashere 7y agoI've heard the Ivies described as hedge funds with ownership stakes in small liberal arts schools.
- Scoundreller 7y agoSorta similar, the trust formed to maintain the London Bridge still exists, but from its investments and historic revenue, has switched to charity work and doesn’t collect tolls anymore.
- HeavenFox 7y agoThis. In fact they don't even need to charge for the course - my school enrolls the student in a 1-credit course in the subsequent semester. Not providing CPT for internships is probably the worst bureaucracy nightmare for international students. OPT has a high application fee, long turnaround, and takes up time from post-graduation employment. CPT is literally the opposite - I remember stepping into my school's international student office with an offer letter, and 5 minutes later I have my work authorization in hand.
- therein 7y agoYeah, so much so that as an international student, I would be weary accepting an offer from Yale knowing they don't provide CPT.
