  "account": "The Trump administration has proposed a memo to universities aiming to limit certain internship work permits for international students, according to a report. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has noted an increase in Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorizations that seemingly violate established rules, which permit CPT only when it is a vital component of the established curriculum.\n\nThe memo, dated Monday, warns that non-compliance with SEVP regulations could result in a university losing its certification to enroll foreign students. This directive comes as the federal government emphasizes the importance of adhering to the regulations to maintain the validity of international student programs in U.S. institutions.",
  "summary": "The federal government has warned that colleges not complying with the regulations may lose certification to enroll foreign students.",
