Pull their damn federal funding !

[Jolla]

So these former employees avg $140,000 as mid to low level workers

There’s a place for H1B, I guess.

But not in its current form.

It is not different than using illegals to pay less.

And we ALL KNOW that is the reason they are hired.

The “no Americans to fill the jobs” bull#### is just that.

THEY FIRED people who knew how to do the job!!!

I know the uber capitalists here will disagree. I couldn’t give a ####.

Let’s see how the (rather complex) system holds up under the control of the new IT laborers after a year or so.

Any questions of what political party loves to hire foreign workers?

"According to a January story in the Los Angeles Times, the university told Feinstein's office that of the 27 HCL employees assigned to UCSF during the transition, eight had H-1B visas. The university assured her office that all the H-1B visa holders were moved elsewhere and won't be working at UCSF after all."

This is probably an accurate statement. They likely brought the workers over to train them (train the trainer), and they'll go back and train the team in India. The jobs will be permanently outsourced, with ZERO economic benefit to the U.S. -- no taxes, no cash flow, and no economic benefit.

This will help recruit students to major in CompSci.

The leftist Ars Technica site and its leftist snowflake commentators are up in arms.

Too bad leftists - you’re gonna have to go looking to the hated Trump to solve your gored ox.

Sometimes, IT depts get overloaded with “non-technical” people. No work gets done and you have to do something.

On the face of it, this is a blatant violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law that allows the execrable H1B visas. Whomever in DoS/DoL approved the statement of need should be transferred forthwith to the mail room pending a dismissal hearing. The same goes for the school’s HR department.

That said, the IT world evolves quickly. Any IT professional should be constantly training to upgrade their skill set, whether company paid or self-financed (it’s deductible). It is possible that the RFP was written in the tradition of sole-source RFPs from the beginning of time.

However, it strains credulity to think there are no recent grads from the very same University system who would not be hireable. Heck, it would even boost their placement numbers! If I was the parent of a recent un/under-employed grad, I’d be raising holy heck with the Regents, uttering “implied warranty of merchantability.” Any school that had a waiver of that warranty in their admissions process should lose their accreditation.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP!!! DJT, TAKE NOTICE!

Spending billions of dollars for free education for illegals but saving $30 million by firing Americans. Sounds like California.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Unions did a GREAT JOB of protecting these workers/s
