Apparently, no citizen wants to do this job? Why do we allow things like this?
- andriy_koval 6mo ago"we" don't allow, but also don't enforce (violators are rarely punished).
- ergocoder 6mo agoI feel like this is legal i.e. we allow it. Stanford wouldn't blatantly violate laws like this.
- andriy_koval 6mo agoit could be not blatant violation, but they more like don't track this on their side because don't think it is a big deal, so some individual can act like that. Blatant violation would be if they do it on many cases and large scale.
- jltsiren 6mo agoWithout knowing anything about that particular case, I would assume that the person was initially hired as an F-1 student and later changed to OPT status. University IT tends to hire students to entry-level positions all around the world. And now Stanford wants to keep the proven employee instead of going through the uncertainty of hiring a new person. So maybe the actual question is what kind of a Stanford undergraduate would choose a university IT position in ~2021 instead of aiming for more lucrative tech roles. Perhaps the kind that wants to maximize their chances of getting H-1B.
- wellthisisgreat 6mo agoor people just like IT administration and Stanford as a work environment? Family etc. factors?
