London Metropolitan University: International Students

London Met Dept: London Metropolitan University said it has told its lawyers to begin urgent action to challenge the decision so that its students can return to study, according to CTV. London Met will fight this revocation, which is based on a highly flawed report by the U.K. Border Agency, university Vice Chancellor Malcolm Gillies said. The university will continue to give top priority to the interests of our international students who have been so distressed by this precipitate action. LONDON -- A London university said Monday it is pursuing legal action to reverse the British government's decision to strip it of its ability to sponsor visas for international students, a decision that has left more than 2,000 students facing deportation. Last week, immigration officials announced that the institution had lost its highly trusted status because a survey found problems with the qualifications of many of its foreign students. The Border Agency said samples of students found that significant proportions did not have a good English standard, had no permission to be in the country or did not attend classes.
