Most likely the article uses the word Visa to mean Legal status. So it’s about the time you’re allowed to be in the US, not the authorization to enter.

More so, students cannot stay enrolled "indefinitely"; the I-20 generated by USCIS has an expiry - generally the duration of the program or maybe a year longer - but never indefinite. Even if there is a need for such a proposal why not set it to the general duration of the program + 1 year, which is 5 years for Bachelors, 3 years for Masters and so on?
