Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration is investigating nine universities over alleged abuse or fraud involving visas, including the J-1 exchange visitor program. Universities identified in reports include Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology, Arizona State University, the University of California, Davis, the University of Pittsburgh and Yale University.
The University of Pittsburgh confirmed that it received a subpoena connected to the investigation, according to 90.5 WESA. Vance publicly accused Arizona State and eight other universities of visa abuse, while reports from California and Connecticut said UC Davis and Yale were also among the institutions under investigation.
The Los Angeles Times described the action involving Stanford and Caltech as part of a broader White House crackdown affecting student visas and technology-sector work visas.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Remove unsupported commentary and caveats about the source material and investigation. - "Reports did not identify all nine universities in their headlines or provide details about the alleged conduct at each institution.": This is commentary about the source material rather than a reported fact from the sources. - "No findings of wrongdoing have been reported, and an investigation does not establish that visa fraud occurred.": This caveat is not supported by the provided source material and adds the writer's own characterization.
