法明頓大學(英語:University of Farmington)是由美國移民及海關執法局ICE)在2015年於密西根州虛設的大學[1][2]。本大學實際上是為了美國國土安全部發起代號為「文凭追捕」(Paper Chase)的執法行動而專門設立的,目的在曝光學生簽證詐欺行為英语visa fraud[3],大約有600名學生涉入此案[4]

本次行動隨著2019年1月30日底特律新聞報英语The Detroit News報導美國國土安全部與移民及海關執法局逮捕8名印度籍的學校仲介人員而公開[3]。這則報導中,這些仲介人員被控以簽證詐欺和藏匿外籍人士謀利,他們替學校招募學生,並獲得至少250,000美元報酬[5][6]。此外,130名在各地的學生(129名為印度籍且大部份為泰盧固人[7],另1名為巴勒斯坦籍[8])因違返移民法規被逮捕,若被定罪可能被驅逐出境[9][10]

檢察官表示,學生們只為了維持學生簽證身份以留在美國而「就讀」此大學[9],即使了解他們並不會上任何課程、得到學分,或在獲得學術學位上有任何進展[1]

學校概述[编辑]

法明頓大學的另一個校徽

法明頓大學的總部位於密西根州法明頓山,在西北公路(Northwestern Highway)往北過因克斯特路(Inkster Road)後一個辦公大樓的地下室。本校網站宣稱「提供學生世界上獨特的教育經驗」,並列出學術課程與相關細節。網站上並宣稱本校由密西根州許可和監管事務部英语Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs美國職業學校和學院認證委員會英语Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges(ACCSC)認證,並顯然得到外國學生和訪問學者計劃英语Student and Exchange Visitor Program授權以招收外籍學生[3][11]印度時報表示想申請此學校的學生無法從學校網站分辨學校真偽[12]

本校沒有教師或實際課程[1],每年本科學費為8,500美元,明顯比其他美國大學低[7][13]

反應[编辑]

在同大樓上班的麥特·弗里德曼(Matt Friedman)表示,法明頓大學沒有教室,他也沒看過有人進出大學的總部[6]。其他在同大樓上班的人懷疑檢察官「學生蓄意騙取簽證」的說法,並堅稱他們曾看到背著背包的學生詢問有關此大學的資訊,並焦急地尋找學校的行程或管理人員[12]

執業於亞特蘭大的移民律師拉維·孟南(Ravi Mannam)批評這次執法行動有誤導性,並譴責政府用非常有問題且令人不安的方法使外國學生進入此大學,因為有些學生懷著將在合法學校修習的憧憬[1][9]。其他印度媒體亦有類似的掛念[10][14][15]

印度政府發出外交照會,要求立即釋放被逮捕的學生,且不要將他們驅逐出境[16]。在印度領事館的介入下部份學生被釋放,領事館並為此事件設立救助電話[17]
