Outrageous: Purdue and Indiana Hire Foreign Workers Despite Robust STEM Programs at Universities

According to an in-depth analysis at The College Fix, “Purdue University and Indiana University are both using H-1B visas to fill data science and software engineering roles, despite Indiana’s wealth of qualified American candidates.”

This undercutting of American workers in favor of foreign workers is a disgrace that should have patriots outraged.

This un-American move to go with foreign workers over qualified Americans drew criticism from experts on H-1B visas and Tech.

The position has a salary range of $86,091 to $129,500, and is scheduled to begin in November 2025 and run through November 2028. The remote “primary worksite” is in North Carolina.

Despite the strong STEM program at Purdue, which ranks in the top five nationally for STEM graduates, they chose a foreign worker for this role.

“State Representative Andrew Ireland drew attention to these job postings on his X account.

As The College Fix rightly points out, “This is only one role among the 13 currently posted, each offering remote and in-person STEM research and faculty positions for foreign workers. The paid positions have starting salaries of at least $63,270.96, some exceeding six figures. ”

The roles listed include data analysts and research assistants.

“Indiana University also posted a filing with an intent to hire two associate software engineers under H-1B visas, despite the availability of qualified graduates from IU. The positions each have a salary of $70,533 and are from the beginning of 2026 to the end of 2028.”

This, yet again, calls into question whether the H-1B visa program benefits America or puts foreign workers before American workers.

For too long, qualified American workers have been passed over in favor of foreign workers.

One can hope that American Universities would put their graduates and fellow Americans before foreign workers.
